Self-catering holiday cottages, pine lodges, houses in County Cavan, Republic of Ireland

fishing holidays in Ireland - County Cavan is an angler's paradise with a lake for every day of the year365 lakes and two great rivers, the Shannon and the Erne, make County Cavan an angler's paradise. The area is particularly known for coarse angling. Perhaps inspired by the area's crystalline waters, craftsmen continue to produce fine quality Irish crystal at Cavan Crystal.

The north-west of the county is mountainous. The Cuilcagh Mountains rise here. Follow the Cavan Way up the uplands to the 'Shannon Pot' the mysterious source of the river Shannon taking in ancient tombs and megaliths along the way. The mountains are also a natural habitat for many bird species including the elusive peregrine falcon. Golf and horse riding are popular in the green valleys of County Cavan.
