Why stay in Cavan

Cavan — Ireland's Lake District

Cavan has more lakes per square kilometre than anywhere else in Ireland — 365 by local count. The Shannon Pot, a small pool in the Cuilcagh Mountains, is where Ireland's longest river (360km) emerges from underground limestone. Cavan Burren Park is a smaller, less-visited version of the Clare Burren with similar limestone pavement and Iron Age monuments. The county is Ireland's undisputed freshwater fishing capital.
