What can we do in Cavan, Ireland?

Question

We like the outdoors (cycling, hiking, sailing, running), a seisiúin, family stuff (now that we've small kids), a good pint, watching a good game of iománaíocht or peil. We've got a car, and we're going to be staying two weeks in Cavan from the 15th July on.

Suggestions for what we can do, and where we can go?

Answer 1

Go to Lough Sheelin, there is some great fishing to be had there.

Also about three miles across the border into Meath there is a place called Loughcrew. It is ancient passage tombs much like the ones in New Grange but with out the tourists, it still has it's natural beauty & setting. You have to climb a  bit of a hill to get to it though. Really well worth a trip! You may still be able to get keys to enter the tomb itself, ask in any of the shops in the local town of Oldcastle & they will direct you to where you may be able to get these (for a small deposit).
