What is recorded here
Poulelva is the deep southern chamber of the longest cave in Ireland, hidden beneath the white limestone of the Burren. In 1935 the Yorkshire Ramblers' Club dropped through its thirty-metre pot, joining two separate cave worlds into one breathing river of stone. The water still flows from upper sinks to the Killaney rising, carrying marble dust and forgotten hours through darkness so complete it swallows thought itself.
The Irish Caves Database records Poulelva at Cooleabeg in County Clare. This point comes from its public cave register. A cave map point does not by itself grant access: check local conditions and ask the landowner where needed.
The cave register does not grant public access. Check conditions and ask the landowner before entering private land.
