"continual slur on Irish caving" It's actually only a few hundred metres is accessible and it's total length is thought to be 2km. No where near the longest cave in Ireland. Consider a trip in only if well equipped with a good light and helmet. Alternatively/also consider visiting McKenzies back lounge just down the road. A much drier watering hole. ;)

Tullygobban Tomb is over 4000 years old and is aligned to face the sunset on the shortest day of the year, the Winter Solstice. Look south towards the cairn atop Cullcagh Mountain and you will see that the summit, this tomb, the Calf House Tomb and an erratic boulder all lie up.

Enjoy a stroll through this gorgeous landscape belonging to the Belmore Uplands. The area is known for it's fascinating wildlife, the most intriguing being the Irish Hare. You'll know if you've spotted a hare over a rabbit because of their black-tipped ears and long black legs.

Pollnagollum Cave (meaning Hole of the Dove) is the longest cave system in Ireland. The cave system is complex and fascinating and is fed by a tumbling waterfall that topples off a limestone cliff. Watch your stepping here as rocks can be unstable and slippery, and don't forget your camera for some awesome shots.

The Cavan Burren Park is interesting in three ways: archaeological, geological and cultural. But of course there is also something here for hikers looking for relaxation, because the landscape is beautiful. Here you will discover a mystical landscape at the foot of the Cuilcagh Mountains, which is peppered with megalithic tombs and ruins of ancient huts.

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.

Fairly accessible but not wheelchair accessible. Would be very careful with small children as well

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.
