Marble Arch Caves European Geopark
.................................................................................................................................................

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.
Tours last for 75 minutes and are suitable for people of any age of average fitness.
Comfortable walking shoes and a warm sweater are recommended. 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 appreciation 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 25 such sites around the
world. EU Funded.
