The Marble Arch Caves are a stunning network of underground caves and passages located near the village of Florence court in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. The caves are situated within the Marble Arch Caves Global Geopark, which is known for its diverse geological features and natural beauty.

The caves were formed in the limestone landscape, created by the dissolving action of water on the limestone rock over thousands of years. The result is a series of awe-inspiring underground chambers and passages.

Access to the Marble Arch Caves is primarily through guided tours. Providing information about the geological processes that formed the caves and the unique features within.

One of the notable features of the Marble Arch Caves is the subterranean river that flows through some of the passages. You can often take boat trips on the river, providing a unique perspective of the cave system. Definitely check out the boat tour if it’s available! It’s pretty fun!

The caves are adorned with impressive stalactites and stalagmites, formed as mineral-rich water drips from the cave ceilings and floors, depositing calcite crystals over time. The resulting formations create a mesmerizing undernground landscape.

The Marble Arch Caves Global Geopark includes the Cladagh Glen Nature Reserve, offering above-ground attractions such as walking trails, lush greenery, and scenic landscapes. The combination of above-ground and underground features contributes to the geopark's designation.

The onsite Marble Arch Caves Visitor Centre provides information about the caves, the geopark, and the surrounding area. It serves as the starting point for guided tours.

The Marble Arch Caves Global Geopark has been designated a UNESCO Global Geopark, recognising its geological significance, biodiversity, and cultural heritage.
