Diarmuid and Gráinne’s Cave
This cave located above the Gleniff Horseshoe loop road is often said to be the last hiding place of Diarmuid and Gráinne.
Diarmuid died on the nearby mountain slopes while out hunting. He was fatally wounded after being attacked by the legendary wild boar of Benbulben.
The cave is also said to be the burial place of the two lovers, laid side by side overlooking the Gleniff valley for all eternity.
