Getting to know my hometown of Cavan [Ireland]

  • While I was living in Canada, my family moved to Cavan. A quiet north midland county in Ireland. As Ireland enters another week of lockdown, I decided to take advantage of a rare day of great weather to explore this town fully and to see if it is worth it for tourists to visit.
    Honestly I quickly realized there wasn't that much to offer to tourists. Besides the large sport area's which are unfortunately closed. I can't drive and most facilities are closed due to lockdown, however I still managed to find some pretty nice sports around the town.

    You should have no problem going down to Swellan lake, we always cut thru the fields to go fishing and the farmers would never stop us.

      Ye I think Google maps was taking me a weird way. I know now that if you don't turn at the Terry Coyle park and go up to the Drumlins housing estate, there's access to the lake from there.

    Nicely done considering all the restrictions. I was born and reared in Cavan town over eighty years ago, I learn to swim in the Green Lake. Believe me it was a much larger expanse of water back then, and I remember a man who used to fish regularly from his rowing boat out in the middle of it. It completely froze over during the terrible winter we had in 1947 and we kids had slides on it. Swellan Lake, the bigger of the two lakes, was the'in spot' for swimming during the summer. There was two diving boards erected halfway along the lake and in the 1940s and 50s that area used to be packed with families having a swim and a picnic during the summer months. As young boy scouts we had a couple of Bell Tents erected on the opposite bank and we camped out there regularly during the summer. Carefree days but there you go. It's always nice to see shots of the old place again so thanks for your efforts....

      @@martinclail9290 Ah that’s crazy mate, I’m named after Thomas as I was born on his birthday. Hence why my names “Tom Greene”. Ray still lives in St Phelams place and my Grandad Joe is still in Birmingham all these years later. As for Tom, we layed him to rest in 2019 after passing away from multiple illnesses. He was flew back to Cavan and had a lovely service in the cathedral where tons of his old friends gathered to say one last goodbye.

As soon as you mention the Clails he'll know. I remember joe was a bloody good goalkeeper when we played in the college field nothing got past him. Your great Grandmother was walking up the road with me when i was about 10 and a 10 shilling note blew along the ground and she told me to pick it up and bring it up to me mum. I always make a point of seeing Ray when im home.
