The fairytale-like Clough Oughter Castle is part of the Marble Arch Geopark and is situated next to the picturesque Killykeen Forest Park (next on our list). The castle itself sits on a what’s known as a Crannog – a man-made island – and is only accessible by boat, canoe or kayak. If you fancy seeing Clough Oughter Castle up close, you can head out...
A bit of adventure on the water is perfectly paired with a ramble in Killykeen Forest Park. The Forest wraps around the Lough Oughter network of lakes and boasts a number of trails that are perfect for a lazy Sunday stroll. There are several easy-to-follow signposted walks that’ll take you on a ramble along the lakes shore and through the woods. Ge...
If you fancy entering treat-yoself mode, afternoon tea in Cabra Castleis a must. This 18th-century castle was once part of the 1,000-acre demesne of Dun Na Rí National Forest Park (we’ll be visiting there later in the guide). Now, it’s nestled on 100 acres of finely manicured gardens and parklands. Afternoon tea here will set you back a fairly reas...
If you’re thinking, ‘Eh, the Burren is in CLARE! What are you on about?!’ then chill your kacks for a minute. There is in fact a Burren in Cavan and it’s often missed by people visiting Ireland. While the Cavan Burren Park only opened to the public back in May 2014, the area itself is a little older. 340 million plus years older… Fancy checking it ...
Good God I love thatch pubs. You’ll find Gartlan’s pub in Kingscourt, where it has been present since the previous owner, George Gartlan, bought it in 1911. Those that visit this little pub on a Thursday and Sunday night will be treated to a clatter of live music (pints are optional). An excellent old traditional pub that has no TV or WiFi. Bliss.
The Shannon Pot is where the magnificent Shannon River begins. Now, there’s a lovely bit of folklore behind how the Shannon Potstarted. According to legend, it’s linked to the legendary Finn MacCool and the Fianna – the ancient warriors of Irish mythology. The story goes that Síonnan, the daughter of Lodan, came to the Shannon Pot to search for the...
This is one of Cavan’s many hidden gems. Tullydermot Falls is a spectacular waterfall found in the Cuilcaigh Mountains, not far from the village of Swanlinbar in north-west Cavan. The waterfall is handy enough to access by foot (and wheelchair) thanks to a trail that goes from the information station at the nearby car park. A grand aul spot to clea...
Although I wouldn’t usually be one for visiting spas, I spent a night at Farnhamrecently. It. Was. Deadly! You can do all the usual spa stuff here but the big attraction, for me anyway, was the outdoor heated pool. There’s something special about being submerged in warm water while your head gets bashed by the icy wind. You can also enjoy a fine vi...
One of the best Sunday’s I’ve had in a long time was spent in Dún na Rí Forest Park. We’d spent the previous night in a hotel not far from it and, up until that day, had never heard of the place. On the day that we visited, the car park was packed, but we still felt like we had the run of the place. A mighty spot to spend a morning or afternoon. So...
I’m sure you’re looking at the picture above and thinking, ‘What in the name of f**k is that?!‘ Bear with me. Welcome to Cavan County Museum. Home to everything from World War One trench experiences (pictured above) and Famine exhibitions to medieval artefacts and an entire section dedicated to the history of the GAA, Cavan County Museum is has som...

Would be very grateful of any recommendations regarding walks and any other interesting things to do/see near Cabra Castle. We will have a car and are only there there for a night (two days) unfortunately.
10 years ago. Kingscourt is a small town in east Cavan, not much there I am afraid apart from the Dun-a-Ri forest park which is situated near to Cabra Castle. In the town there is the Europa restaurant and several pubs including Cartlan's with a thatched roof. Checkout: http://www.thisiscavan.ie.
