Boho Caves
The Boho Caves (pronounced /boʊ/ BOH, from Irish Botha, meaning "huts") are a collection of caves centred on the village of Boho, County Fermanagh on the northern slopes of Belmore Mountain. They encompass the main Boho Cave and the smaller Waterfall Cave and Upper and Lower Ravine Caves.
