Crag Cave

Many of striking formations in this show cave are named after locations or characters from the world of J.R.R. Tolkien.

About

While the Geological Survey of Ireland determined there was a cave in the area in 1859, Crag Cave wasn’t discovered until the 1980s. Originally requiring scuba gear to access, Crag Cave was made accessible to the public in 1989 when a shaft, pathways, railings, lights, and a music system were added. Extending for 3.8km, Crag Cave is the 10th longest cave system in the whole of Ireland, with about 350 meters open to visitors as a show cave. On a half hour guided tour, visitors are led through a variety of chambers with names like “the Cathedral” and “the Crystal Gallery”, each of which is filled with beautiful formations.
