County Cavan is located in the north of the island (but in the Republic of Ireland). Cavan is perhaps best known as the lakeland county and it is well known that there is at least a lake for every day of the year. The landscape of County Cavan is a pleasant mix of low hills, rivers, lakes and marshland. The river Shannon also begins its 400 kilometre journey to the Atlantic Ocean in Cavan. Popular places to visit include Cavan County Museum, Cavan Crystal, and Belturbet Station. Places to stay include Cavan Town, Kingscourt, Virginia, Bailieborough, and Arvagh.
