Crossed by the Erne River, the town of Belturbet brings a special charm to County Cavan. Its history, architecture, landscapes and dynamism are all points of interest to discover in this mythical town. You too can discover unspoiled nature and life on the edge of the Republic of Ireland.
A country of history in a breathtaking natural setting
The charm of Belturbet undoubtedly comes from its monuments set in a harmonious decor. Just head to the "Diamond" square to contemplate its important sites. It is also difficult not to be amazed by the Church of Ireland towering over the city, or the market square and the City Hall! All these perfectly arranged buildings and the quiet alleys of Bertulbet are an invitation to daydream.
Outside the city, Drumlane Abbey enchants the hearts of visitors with its position close-hauled to Cavan Lake. Here you will find one of the most beautiful panoramas, where the spectacle of swans and cranes adds to the beauty of the lake. During your visit, don't forget to take a photo of the perfectly preserved round tower of the abbey, which dates back to the year 555.
Lovely boat trips
The commune is also home to treasures inaccessible by land, including Clough Oughter Castle and Turbet Island. To reach these magical places, arrange a yacht charter from Bertulbet. Enjoy a breathtaking trip to Cloughoughter Castle. During this picturesque outing, immerse yourself in Irish history and admire the unique flora and fauna that this artificial island is home to.
A second boat trip takes you to the island of Turbet. There, in a magnificent natural setting, you can discover the 13th-century fortifications of La Motte and Bailey. These places tell the whole economic and social history of the region. Hiking trails, established all over the island, also allow you to frolic in nature and savor the calm it provides.
In addition to its history, Bertulbet attracts visitors for its fishing-related activities. The Erne river and the city's countless lakes provide good opportunities for this activity.
