Marble Arch caves are Ireland largest caves, both in terms of the extent and the sheer hugeness of some of the internal spaces.

The caves have been open to the public since 1985, though first discovered in 1895, and are explored by guided tours which are partly on boats navigating subterranean rivers.

The Castle is not really a castle in the sense that most people understand the term, but a perfect example of an elegant and impressive Neo-Classical country house.

Castle Coole is now in the care of the British National Trust.

This is an important collection and a repository of the many and varied techniques of lace making in Ireland, their origins and history.

It owes its existence to the dedication and passion of one person, Rosemary Cathcart, who has single handedly assembled a wide ranging collection of more than 400 or related items.
