COUNTY CAVANis the beautiful land of lakes in the middle of our island. This is a place away from it all - but not that far away. The people here are down-to-earth and welcoming. The only residents who won’t be glad to meet you are our fish… that’s just how they are.

Our restaurants rank among the best in the country and our love of music is known to continue into the early hours..

“An Cabhan” is an old Irish word meaning “The Hollow” – and in a simple way that says a lot about this place. Cavan is a refuge, a place to rejuvenate, a shelter from stress.

Many visitors note that once you get here, the pace of things seems to slow down a bit. Whatever the reason for this change of pace, you’ll be surprised by just how many great attractions and activities we have here to fill all that wonderfully slowed-down Cavan time.

7ARTS & CULTURE

THE ARTSreally has found a good home in Cavan. Music and drama like to take to the streets.

For three years running, Cavan played host to the All Ireland Fleadh Cheoil – the World’s largest Irish music festival.

Art Gallery’s and studio’s, culture centers, sculpture gardens, concerts, sessions, artist residencies and Cavan County Museum’s calendar of exhibitions, lectures and cultural exchanges ensures a vibrant year round calendar of art and culture in County Cavan.

Cavan presents three drama festivals annually: Shercock, Cavan and Maudabawn, indeed many of the world’s finest actors found their stage in County Cavan. Literature too and a love of the spoken and written word is evidenced as Cavan is home to award winning publishing houses, magazines and writers.

Here in County Cavan we know that great things happen when we celebrate the arts and encourage more people to participate.

DRAMATIC COUNTY CAVAN

The county has a rich musical scene with dance, music and singing festivals.

Events such as NYAH, Virginia Pumpkin and the annual County Fleadh, have all added to our growing reputation as one of Ireland’s richest music, song and dance destinations.

Cavan is open to new and innovative arts and practice, particularly evidenced in the visual arts, youth arts and new media. As a film destination Cavan is ripe with contrasting locations and startling landscapes.

So now you’ve been warned; music and the arts have an infectious and powerful effect on people in Cavan...

Tá an-meas ar an nGaeilge i gContae an Chabhán. Tá pobal mhór ag labhairt agus ag usáid í go rialta ar fud an Contae uilig.

GOLF

...AND OTHER EXCUSESIn Cavan a wise golfer is always prepared for the inevitable with a few extra balls.It’s almost a tradition for first-time visitors to blame the views for adding six shots to their card… And if your drives keep finding those ancient woods along our lush fairways… just blame the fairies.

Why all the excuses? Well our golf courses are gorgeously challenging. Amongst the 8 courses in Co. Cavan, are magnificent, mature 18 hole parkland courses of national renown, and charming 9 hole courses where every hole deserves to be played twice. So try to ignore the beautiful views and let us know how that goes for you.

Cavan people and visitors to the county have for years enjoyed the health benefits of the tranquil landscapes of the Lakelands, Burren and Cavan’s famed rolling drumlin hills.

Enjoyment is the art of living in the moment and these days visitors can experience holistic therapies from all over the world, allowing the mind and body to re-balance and revitalise.

Amidst the numerous alluring lakes that lie among the drumlins and lakelands, visitors are immersed in a wide array of treatments and relaxation techniques in a lush land with no end of enjoyable moments.

This part of Ireland is home to a fine equestrian tradition and many a horse-lover. With several well-established equestrian centres in Cavan we can say with confidence that we have the right horse for you and riders of any age or expertise.

Our kind horses really show off the county at a different pace, and allow you see certain views hidden from lowly walkers. Of course, it’s the fine horses themselves that are the greatest thrill.

From show-jumpers to hardy upland ponies, Cavan is a great place to unleash your inner equestrian.

And if you still haven’t had enough of your saddle after a good day across our rugged country, Cavan is also home to the World’s only saddle makers’ museum... Some people around here are just horse-mad.

YOU CAN LEARN A LOT FROM A HORSEYou just get a certain perspective from up there.

15WALKING

WHERE TO BEGINCavan is a walker’s place. Here we have a great range of places to pace through.Walk along the river and canal paths between towns with a flask of soup and a companion or three. Try gently rolling drumlins one day and upland blanket bogs the next. Enjoy the tranquility of forest walks in Kingscourt, Virginia and Balieborough.

Or walk the Cavan Way from Dowra to Blacklion past the Shannon Pot – the source of the Shannon – a place of rich folklore.

Visit the Marble Arch Caves Geopark – a UNESCO protected site – a special place spanning the uplands of Cavan and Fermanagh. By foot, neo-lithic Ireland reveals itself quietly as you stroll along. In ancient woods you get a feeling for why our ancestors picked this place over others.

“OUR BEST DAY OUT THIS YEAR. A LOCAL SPOTTED MY ROD IN THE CAR AND POINTED ME DOWN THIS WAY. ALL I NEED NOW IS A DOLLOP OF BUTTER AND A HOT SKILLET”

TAKE THE BAITUnfortunately for our fish, Cavan is widely regarded as Ireland’s finest fishing destination. If fishing is your thing, Cavan is definitely your spot. Whether it’s coarse or game fishing, we have a quiet spot for you.

Now you’d think with 366 lakes, and the Shannon & Erne rivers, people around here would be satisfied with things. Well, of course, you would be wrong.

In 1993 the Victorian Shannon-Erne waterway was re-opened, linking our northern and southern waterways with Europe’s longest inland cruising system (39 miles and 14 locks). Cavan now offers a mind-boggling number of water-craft adventure possibilities – whether moving by kayak, lakeboat or cruiser. From here you can travel three provinces by river. See you later.

Boating on the County Cavan lakelands

This land has been home for Neolithic, Bronze Age, Celtic, Norman & Early Christian peoples. They all built here and left their mark for us to admire.

Clough Oughter Castle was built by the Normans in the 12th century. The locals were so impressed by the new place that they quickly captured it for themselves. The O Reillys fought hard to retain

this roof over their heads until Cromwell’s forces finally blasted through the walls in 1653. The breached walls lie where they fell, and for hundreds of years the castle has belonged to no one but it’s painters, poets and curious visitors. So what was all the fuss about this place? The same as it ever was - location, location, location!

HAND-ME-DOWNS from history. Before this place was called Cavan it was called Breifne, and before that it was called something else.
