About Roscommon
County Roscommon is a landlocked county in Ireland's central north. In its centre, Strokestown Park has a Georgian Palladian mansion, plus walled gardens featuring a lily pond and a fernery. Also on site is the Irish National Famine Museum, which recounts the effects of the 1840s potato blight. To the west, burial mounds, caves and other ancient monuments dot the site of Rathcroghan, a former Celtic royal capital.
