County Cavan occupies the northern Midlands, on the border with Northern Ireland. Its landscape is marked by a multitude of lakes, drumlins and farmland, with a more inland, lake-focused identity than the major counties along the Atlantic coast.
Cavan had a population of 81,704 in the 2022 census. Cavan Town is the main centre, while Belturbet, Ballyconnell, Virginia and several smaller settlements structure the area.
Water is everywhere: lakes, rivers and wetlands have shaped the landscape and support fishing, boating and outdoor activities.
On the border with Fermanagh, the Cuilcagh uplands and limestone landscapes provide a transition to a more mountainous, karst environment.
The county retains castles, estates, religious sites and villages linked to its border history.
Two days allow you to combine Cavan Town, a lake area and the surroundings of Cuilcagh. A car remains the most suitable option.
