Town of Oldcastle
About 6.4km from Lough Ramor (County Cavan) and 10km from Lough Sheelin, Oldcastle is an attraction for anglers. If trout (fish) is the element of attraction in Sheelin, Ramour is famous for fresh water fish except salmon and trout. Oldcastle is the traditional home of Irish music and dance. The ceili house in the town is venue for regular sessions in these arts, at every level. A major portion of the local countryside is consumed by an extensive park called Loughcrew Demesne. The actual birthplace of Saint Oliver Plunkett is a subject for continual argument locally, but Though it is very certain that Saint Oliver Plunkett was born in a house in the south east corner of the churchyard at Loughcrew, it is a matter of locall controversy even today. The Dromone crossroads is just 3.2 km from Loughcrew Demense close to which you find the ruins of Moylagh church and castle.
