3About Cavan
Cavan sits in the heart of drumlin country, about 114 kilometres northwest of Dublin on the N3. The town serves as a handy base for exploring the border region, with good connections to Enniskillen (50km), Sligo (99km), and Belfast (138km). The area's distinctive rounded hills and countless lakes were carved out by ancient glaciers, creating perfect fishing and walking territory. The Shannon Pot, 30 kilometres northwest near Cuilcagh Mountain, is where Ireland's longest river begins its journey, bubbling up from underground limestone caves. Electric vehicle drivers will find over 20 fast charging points scattered around the county.
