Introducing County Cavan
Cavan’s Irish name, An Chabháin, means ‘the hollow’, and there’s not a lot of solid ground here, to be sure. Cavan is known as ‘the Lake Country’ as it’s said there are no fewer than 365 lakes – one for every day of the year. (Some residents claim it has 366, allowing for leap years, too.) Unsurprisingly, Cavan is paradise for anglers, whose luck would have to be running very dry not to land a catch here.

Cavan has some spectacular paths leading through the wild Cuilcagh Mountains, which are the source of the 300km River Shannon. If too much water’s barely enough, you can rent a boat at Belturbet to cruise the Shannon-Erne Waterway.
