Shannon Pot Discovery Centre provides the opportunity to discover and explore the seemingly humble beginnings of the mighty River Shannon, Ireland's longest river. Its distinctive stories of geoscience and folklore will enrich and inspire the visitor.

Shannon Pot Discovery Centre celebrates community and shared heritage, looking below the surface to appreciate what cannot be seen as much as what can be seen. Visitors can reflect upon the surroundings, champion the natural world and promote its proactive protection.

Cavan Burren Park, located under the shadow of Cuilcagh Mountain, known as the Stairway to Heaven, is widely recognised as one of the finest prehistoric relict landscapes in Ireland. This place has stood still in time. Explore the many stories of this land from boulders of the Ice Age to the arrival of the first settlers around 4,500BC.
