Cuilcagh Lakelands UNESCO Global Geopark

Cuilcagh Lakelands Geopark, one of four transnational Geoparks in the world as it straddles County Fermanagh in Northern Ireland and County Cavan in the Republic of Ireland, became the world’s first cross border Geopark in 2008.

The Geopark is home to a fascinating variety of geology, natural landscapes, and historic relics. Major lakes, gently rolling drumlins and winding rivers are set against the dramatic backdrop of spectacular cliffs, rugged outcrops, hidden caves and a fabulous array of natural habitats and species. It also contains prehistoric tombs, Iron Age forts, early Christian monasteries, and Plantation Castles – all of which have good public access all year round.

The Geopark boasts over 50 stunning sites including breath-taking viewpoints, magical waterfalls, and meandering walking paths – truly a paradise for explorers and nature lovers. Visitors can immerse themselves in the rich cultural and natural heritage while enjoying the peaceful and tranquil atmosphere of the Lakelands. A trip to this extraordinary Geopark is a must for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and reconnect with nature.
