County Cavan

Welcome to Mullagh: A Hidden Gem in Ireland’s Heartlands

Nestled in the rolling countryside of East County Cavan, right on the Meath border, lies the charming village of Mullagh—a true hidden gem in Ireland’s Hidden Heartlands.

 

Steeped in history and natural beauty, Mullagh is the birthplace of St. Kilian, who was born here in 640 A.D. before becoming a beloved saint in Würzburg, Germany. Discover his story and explore ancient artefacts, ogham scripts, and historic manuscripts at the captivating St. Kilian’s Heritage Centre.

 

This October (3rd – 5th), for the first time, the sacred relics of Saint Kilian will return to Mullagh, along with  those of his martyred colleagues, Saints Totnan and Kolonat. Click here for more details.

 

For nature lovers, Mullagh offers a delightful 2 km hill walk with breathtaking views of the tranquil Mullagh Lake. Nearby, the Killyconny Bog, an important 191-hectare raised bog on the Meath border, forms part of the remarkable ‘Living Bog’ restoration project—a haven for wildlife and a peaceful retreat for visitors.
