Originally managed for forestry by its owners Coillte, it is now also being developed in partnership with the Council for increased leisure and recreation activities, as informed by the Rossmore Forest Park Masterplan.<\/p>\n<p>Yet Rossmore is a special landscape with much heritage significance. Its built and cultural heritage dates back to the Castle and Parkland constructed there by the Rossmore Family in the 18<sup>th<\/sup> and 19<sup>th<\/sup> centuries and also much further back to Neolithic times as evidenced by archaeological excavations. The natural heritage of the park relates to its river, collection of man-made lakes and mosaic of various woodland habitats.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-242\" src=\"https:\/\/monaghan.ie\/tourism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2022\/08\/Rossmore_image1-websize-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"473\" height=\"315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/monaghan.ie\/tourism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2022\/08\/Rossmore_image1-websize-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/monaghan.ie\/tourism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2022\/08\/Rossmore_image1-websize-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/monaghan.ie\/tourism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2022\/08\/Rossmore_image1-websize-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/monaghan.ie\/tourism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2022\/08\/Rossmore_image1-websize-648x432.jpg 648w, https:\/\/monaghan.ie\/tourism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2022\/08\/Rossmore_image1-websize-288x192.jpg 288w, https:\/\/monaghan.ie\/tourism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2022\/08\/Rossmore_image1-websize.jpg 1368w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 473px) 100vw, 473px\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-243 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/monaghan.ie\/tourism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2022\/08\/Rossmore_image2-websize-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"464\" height=\"309\" srcset=\"https:\/\/monaghan.ie\/tourism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2022\/08\/Rossmore_image2-websize-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/monaghan.ie\/tourism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2022\/08\/Rossmore_image2-websize-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/monaghan.ie\/tourism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2022\/08\/Rossmore_image2-websize-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/monaghan.ie\/tourism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2022\/08\/Rossmore_image2-websize-648x432.jpg 648w, https:\/\/monaghan.ie\/tourism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2022\/08\/Rossmore_image2-websize-288x192.jpg 288w, https:\/\/monaghan.ie\/tourism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2022\/08\/Rossmore_image2-websize.jpg 1045w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 464px) 100vw, 464px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Monaghan County Council commissioned a Conservation Management Plan to assess the heritage significance of the park and to identify a series of measures by which its heritage could be better conserved, protected and interpreted.
