If in Kingscourt then a visit to Gartlans pub is a must. We got a very warm welcome and the interior is a throw back from years gone by. Traditional music every Sunday 6-930. And the pints of Guinness are top quality.

Elena is an award-winning Jewellery Designer, Goldsmith and Master Pattern maker, creating beautiful, modern pieces, in her own distinctly Celtic style. Elena has worked with the National Museum of Ireland and her work has been stocked in the British Museum. Collections Include; Children Of Lir, My Angel, Mise Eire and Oops A Daisy. The Jewellery Studio is located 3 miles from Cavan Town. It is a workshop first and foremost, not a retail shop in the normal sense. I have a few showcases, where customers can browse and buy my jewellery and also discuss their special requests with me. Sometimes I am in the middle of doing lots of noisy work, or I'm trying to get pieces made to deadlines, so it doesn't always suit to see visitors., as I said, it is a working workshop. Please ring, text or email before coming out to the studio, (it also gives me time to tidy up a bit!!) If you just call on spec, that's usually ok too, but... I might not be there...

Purchased a beautiful brooch from Elena for a special birthday gift for my auntie. Cannot recommend highly enough, Elena went above and beyond for my requests with the purchase and was so helpful throughout! It was presented beautifully with a personalised card!

The site boasts numerous geological and archaeological features including megalithic tombs and glacial erratics. The site has recently been transformed into an amazing accessible prehistoric park with five looped walking trails including a multi-access trail as well as a brand new interpretative centre, toilet and car park facilities and interpretation across the site. We hope you enjoy it!

What a fantastic hidden gem - absolutely beautiful, peaceful and amazing place....kind of fell on it on a scenic drive and so glad we did. Well signed paths, lots of easy to digest info posts, and routes linked together so easy to do a detour at your will. Fantastic sense of history and the VIEWS!! WOW. We were lucky - after a rainy morning blue skies and clear view all the way to Sligo - stunning. Boardwalks would be a great adventure for wee ones and none of the paths are overly challenging (from a plump middle aged doll) One advantage of Covid was we were totally alone and could enjoy the total serenity. Loved it!

we went to deerpark forest walk while on a break in virginia co cavan , it had rained for 2 days solid after 10 days of sunny dry weather so the timing coulnt be worse , the signage for the forest was a bit baffling as the signs were pointing in the wrong direction to where the car park (rugby club) actually was and some branches were obscuring the signage until you were almost on top of it - or past it - a small issue that could easily be addressed with a couple of spanners and a pair of loppers by the local authorities im sure !! anyway we did the 5k route around the forest - watch out for the hidden fairy doors - well worth spotting as some of them are really very well made . the track way by the lakeside was a bit flooded from all the rain especially next to the golf club and some of the dead and fallen trees could be removed to make access and views a while lot better but other than that a very peaceful and pleasant walk ,nice way to pass a couple of hours . and if you do decide to take a walk here - PLEASE take your litter home with you ,dont leave it in the forest or the car park as SOME people had done .

Beautiful Forest Park with lots of lakes and walks. A big park so even with lots of visitors it would never be crowded. Decent car park which is well in off the road. It looks a little neglected (closed up buildings and a tatty toilet shed) but the park itself is well worth a visit.
