The Cuilcagh Lakelands Geopark formerly known as the Marble Arch Caves Global Geopark[1] straddles the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. It is centred on the Marble Arch Caves and in 2001 it became one of the first geoparks to be designated in Europe.

The Geopark features various sites which demonstrate the geological and wider natural heritage of the area, as well as the cultural heritage relating to 7,000–8,000 years of recorded human occupation since the last ice age.[2] It is jointly managed by Fermanagh and Omagh District Council and Cavan County Council.[3]
