    Hiking

    The cave is in the forest on a small hill. There are stairs down that we couldn't climb as a rappelling course was going on. It's definitely worth looking down.

    Running

    The Pigeon Hole is a limestone cave located between Lough Corrib and Lough Mask just outside of the village of Cong.

    A steep descent of steps with a welcome handrail will bring you down to the main cavern, a fairly substantial space over 12-feet wide with a subterranean stream running through it. The cave gets its name from the fact that it’s a common place for pigeons to nest.
