The tiny village of
Glangevlin is situated in northwest Cavan. It is surrounded by the
Cuilcagh Mountains and borders the counties of Leitrim and
Fermanagh. Glangevlin lies in a beautiful, almost alpine-like
landscape and the visitor is guaranteed a breathtaking panoramic
glimpse of West Cavan as well as the Drumlin belts of East Cavan.
A large stone known as 'Maguire's chair' is located on the right
hand side of the road, roughly 6km from Glangevlin, so-called
because it was thought to be the inauguration site of the Maguire
clan in ancient times. The view from here is superb; Brackley and
Templeport lakes lie far below, while the Slieve Russell plateau is
on the left. On a clear day, it is possible to see the spire of the
cathedral in Cavan town.
Five kilometres north-west of Glangevlin is the Shannon Pot, the
source of Ireland's longest river.
Glangevlin has a strong traditional Irish background and Irish was
spoken up until the 1920s, one of the last places in Cavan where
this was commonplace. Glangevlin can be particularly recommended to
those interested in hill walking and mountain climbing, or for those
merely wishing for a pleasant drive packed with spectacular views |
