Noon's Hole

Noon's Hole is a vertical limestone cave system in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, featuring an extensive network of interconnected passages. The main entrance shaft serves as the primary access point to the underground formation.

The first documented exploration occurred in 1895 when a French researcher studied the system. This early expedition established the foundation for modern understanding of the cave's structure.

The cave's name comes from a 1820s local story that was passed down through folk songs and ballads. This connection to regional folklore gives the place a role in how people remember and tell stories about the area.

Access requires advanced caving experience and specialized equipment for the vertical sections. It is recommended to contact local caving clubs for safe and knowledgeable guidance.

The system connects underground to a nearby cave through water-filled passages. This subterranean link makes it part of a larger interconnected cave network in the region.
