Belturbet
Belturbet (; ) is a town in County Cavan, Ireland. It lies on the N3 road, around north of Cavan town and from Dublin.

In the late 16th century the local O'Reilly chieftains built a castle opposite Turbot Island, but this has not survived either. As part of the Plantation of Ulster in the early 17th century, the lands around Bel ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
