Marble Arch Caves Global Geopark

On Friday I attended the launch of Marble Arch Caves Global Geopark in the Slieve Russell hotel. This Geopark takes in numerous sites throughout Cavan and Fermanagh many of which are open to the public. All of the sites provide a variety of interests including geology, archaeology, history, folklore, wildlife and activities such as walking and cycling. This development will create a new interest and a new tourist for Cavan /Fermanagh and surrounding areas. Eonish Lodge is an ideal location to stay and enjoy all this Geopark has to offer and more.

Tracing their roots

Last week I had a couple stayed in our bed and breakfast, Eonish Lodge, from U. S. A. tracing their ancestors in Cavan. Talking with my husband he was able to direct them to the local graveyard where he believed that realities were buried. Sean(my husband) has lived in the area all his life and would know people in the are very well and loves helping people looking for their ancestors.   That week end, blessing of the graves was talking place in our parish and this couple attended and stood by the grave hoping some other relative would also be there. Would you believe, they made contact with a second cousin. This cousin brought them home for dinner and  both couples had a great time tracing their roots. Two very happy people returned to U.S.A.
