Noon's Hole, Vertical cave shaft in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland.

The limestone cave system extends for 3.7 kilometers of passages and reaches a depth of 81 meters through its main vertical entrance shaft.

In 1895, French explorer Édouard-Alfred Martel conducted the first documented exploration of Noon's Hole, descending to a depth of 20 meters.

The cave received its current name following the 1820s incident involving Dominick Noone, whose story became part of local folklore through a ballad.

Visitors require advanced caving skills and proper equipment to navigate the vertical shaft, with guidance from local caving clubs strongly recommended.

The cave system connects to Arch Cave through three underwater passages, making it the eighth deepest cave formation in Ireland.
