WELCOME TO MULLAGH
Mullagh is a picturesque village located in east of County Cavan, in Ireland’s Hidden Heartlands, and on the Meath border.
The saint St. Kilian was born in Mullagh in 640 A.D. and became a saint in Wurzburg, Germany. Artefacts, ogham scripts, historic manuscripts and exhibitions are on display in St. Kilian’s Heritage Centre.
Nearby, there is a short 2 km hill walk nearby overlooking scenic Mullagh Lake.
Killyconny Bog which borders County Meath is an important 191 hectare raised bog and part of ‘The Living Bog’ restoration project.
The famous Mullagh Fair Day, running since 1828, takes place every September.
Jonathan Swift, Dean of St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Dublin, wrote parts of Gulliver’s Travels and The Tale Of The Tub whilst staying at the country home of his cleric friend the Rev. Thomas Sheridan at Quilca House, which is close to the old, historic Mullagh village.
Other notable descendants from the (Quilca) Sheridan family are the 18th century playwright Thomas Sheridan and notable writer Richard Brinsley Sheridan.
