Marble Arch Caves are one of Europe's finest showcaves with a fascinating natural underworld of rivers, waterfalls, winding passages and lofty chambers. Lively and informative guides conduct tours past a bewildering variety of cave formations - stalactites glisten above streamways and chambers while fragile mineral veils and cascades of creamy calcite coat walls and spread as shimmering terraces across rock strewn floors.
Cuilcagh Mountain Park is managed by Fermanagh District Council with the aim of actively restoring damaged peatland, conserving a significant area of pristine blanket bog and increasing awareness and appreiation of bogland habitats and wildlife.
The importance of Marble Arch Caves and Cuilcagh Mountain Park has been recognised on an international scale as they were jointly awarded UNESCO Global Geopark status in 2004, one of 57 such sites around the world. EU Funded.
