Caves
Boho is the only example of a joint controlled maze cave system in Northern Ireland. With 1.5km of explored passage, it is the seventh longest cave system in NI. Boho is a cave much used by guided educational parties studying the local environment and by casual caving groups, but exploration should never be undertaken lightly. In wet weather the narrow passages flood quickly and at these times the cave is extremely dangerous and should be avoided. Heavy flood pulses have been known to inundate the cave up to 24 hours after heavy rain has ceased.
Boho High Cross
The Boho cross is a tall carved stone that stands just west of the present Catholic Church in a very ancient churchyard. Though broken and weathered the cross still is fantastic to look at, and a precious reminder of the pre-Norman use o this site. One of the most interesting carvings is that of Adam and Eve who stand under the interlaced branches of the tree, separated by its trunk around which the serpent is entwined. The time of this cross is uncertain with suggestions of eleventh, tenth and even the eighth century.
Reyfad Stones
Reyfad: Petroglyphs (rock art)
Approached by a motorable track up to a modern bungalow (park in front of the bungalow and go down some steps, then over a stone stile and the rocks are visible to your right), 500 metres WNW of Boho Catholic Church are 6 stones in a field in front of the bungalow, five of which have cup-and-ring carvings. The largest of them, 3.3 metres long and over 2 metres high, is almost completely covered with the designs, many of them overlapping. On one of the small stones the cups and rings are unusually deep. Some good carvings are on a flat stone which appears to have been broken from a larger one, since one of its motifs is only half there.
Aghnaglack Tomb
This splendid double court tomb is one of the few monuments that you could truly say has good disabled access. You can actually drive right up to it. Set in Ballintempo forest on the outskirts of Boho, Aganaglack cairn is a burial chamber with a court or semi-circular enclosure at either end leading to a gallery. It was excavated in 1938 and stone and Bronze Age items such as pots and arrowheads were found, alongside the bones of two children. The ease of access, the state of the galleries and the superb remains of the two courts place this monument high up on the list of ones to visit.
Waterfall
In Belmore Forest in Boho at the entrance of Pollnagollum Cave is a spectacular waterfall. Stone steps lead down to the cave entrance and the waterfall's pool, providing cool protection from the sun on a hot day, and shelter from the rain on a wet day! The area at the base of the waterfall is stunning with ferns growing all around and water cascading from above. Be very careful on the strips down, as these can be slippy, particularly in wet weather.
Noone's Hole
Noon's Hole lies about 5km. N.W. of Boho. At 250 feet, this pothole is the deepest in Ireland. It used to be called "Sumera" meaning abyss but gained notoriety, and the new name of "Noon", after a notorious murder took place there. Dominick Noone (original spelling) was a highwayman. He was a Ribbonman but also became an informer, so in 1826, his "colleagues" in that illegal organization lured him to his death at this Sumera where he was bludgeoned and flung into the depths. However his body caught on a ledge and eight days later, planks were put across and a well-sinker named Cavanagh was lowered to bring up the remains. The body was then carried to a chapel with the plan to hold a wake but it was not to be, as people blocked the doorway and prevented entrance. The murderers of Noone were never caught.
