Cavan is situated in the North Midlands within the historical province of Ulster. It shares boundaries with Leitrim, Fermanagh, Monaghan, Meath, Westmeath and Longford and the county can boast being the source of the River Shannon, Ireland's biggest river.
The county has a population of 64,000 and the two major towns are Cavan town and Belturbet. These towns stand on the N3 highway which links Cavan directly with Dublin, although at 70 and 80 miles distances respectively, these locations are a fairly long commute with driving times taking 90 minutes plus.
Other towns of note include Arvagh, Bailieborough, Ballyconnell, Ballyhaise, Ballyjamesduff, Bawnboy, Blacklion, Butlers Bridge, Cootehill, Killashandra, Kilnaleck, Kingscourt, Mullagh, Shercock, Swanlinbar and Virginia.
