Wonderful rolling gravel riding through the Culeigh Lakelands Global Unesco Geopark. You'll cut through dense woodland and traverse more open spaces with far reaching views on a clear day.

Here is the path that leads up to Giants' Grave, an ancient Bronze Age tomb located in County Cavan. Accessible via the Cavan Way trail, it offers a fascinating glimpse into Ireland's prehistoric past for hikers and history enthusiasts. It's a good idea to walk up as there are many hikers along the way.

Would not regard the Sligo Road from Enniskillen to Belcoo as a cycle friendly road. Extremely poor surface for considerable stretches, very bendy in places too. I live in Enniskillen; have cycled it but would avoid it if at all possible. Cycling via Five Points , on Swanlinbar Road; then via old rail line from old Letterbreen railway station towards Lough MacNean ; or take road from Five Points towards Gortatole is a far more pleasant and safer option.

Incredible Stone-Age park, with some technical trails. Massive mythological sacred stones worshipped over centuries, will follow you when adventuring into this unique geological and archaeological forest landscape.

Many of Ireland’s megalithic monuments—portal tombs, court cairns, or wedge tombs such as this one—are known locally as “the giant’s grave.” But this one, on a hilltop in Co. Cavan’s Burren Forest Park, has a giant story to go along with its name. According to Harold Johnson, from the nearby town of Blacklion, the giant, attempting to impress a lady, failed in his final attempt to jump the nearby chasm, which is, of course, called “The Giant’s Leap.” Harold Johnson relates this story in some detail, while seated on the Giant’s Grave, in the video, below right. Mr. Johnson also was our guide, and provided the narration, for our feature on the Killinagh Cursing Stones, located on the opposite side of the town of Blacklion.

Lower Lough MacNean, also known as Lough Nilly, is one of two lakes that together form Lough MacNean. Around the circumference of the lake there is a 42 mile (67.6 km) sculpture trail that showcases the rich human history and diverse wildlife around the lake. Lough MacNean lies within the Marble Arch Caves Geopark which preserves the ancient landscapes. The reedbeds, fen peats, wet grasslands and wet woodland are home to diverse mammals, insects, and birds.

In the Burren Forest you can admire a few megalithic tombs, the so-called Giant's Graves. According to an Irish legend, two giants vied for a pretty giantess and jumped daringly over a ravine - until one fell into the ravine and the stone walls collapsed above him. This is how the Giant's Grave was created.
