On Thursday, 14th April, 2nd Year Geography students travelled to Fermanagh to visit the Marble Arch Caves. Joy Malone (2nd Year) describes their field trip.
On Thursday, 14th April, 2nd Year students, Ms. Conlon and Ms. McGuckin visited the Marble Arch Caves in Fermanagh. It took just over two hours to get there. We took a guided tour through the cave and there were 200 steps down to it. We saw the stalagmites, stalactites and the pillars, all formed due to chemical weathering. There was a river running through the cave. Our tour guide was very helpful and answered all of our questions. After the tour of the cave we had some lunch in the café and then we got back onto the bus and went on a guided nature/geographical walk. We saw lots of limestone and sandstone. There was lots of cattle around but they didn’t bother us. The weather was lovely and it was a really warm day. We all really enjoyed the trip.
