Mitchelstown Caves

Mitchelstown CavesIn the nearby Galtee Mountains are the impressive limestone caves, famous for their Tír Na nÓg caverns. In Irish mythology Tír Na nÓg is the world where the fairies and leprechauns live. Many of our hotel’s younger visitors like to visit these caves in hopes of seeing a fairy or even catching a lucky leprechaun. Three-hundred-and-fifty million year old fossils in the cave walls make them a ‘must-see’. The caves are open all year round and cover approximately three kilometres.
