Allihies Copper Mines

Join us in Allihies this August as we celebrate Heritage Week 2025 with a special event that brings our rich mining history to life.

What to Expect…
Led by local guides Tadhg O’Sullivan, and Klaudia Drozdzik, the tour will begin at the Allihies Copper Mines Museum, followed by a walk to the nearby historic mine sites. The walk is of moderate difficulty, so we recommend comfortable footwear and weather-appropriate clothing.

New This Year: Audio Guide Launch
We’re also proud to introduce our brand-new audio guide, created to enhance your museum experience. Featuring recorded stories and insights, the guide explores:

The impact of the Industrial Revolution on Allihies
What life was like for miners over 200 years ago
The deep heritage and culture that define our village.
Whether you're a first-time visitor or a returning friend, this event offers a fresh and immersive way to connect with the past.

Everyone’s Welcome!
Come along, enjoy the stories, take in the views, and discover what makes Allihies such a special place. We’d love to see you there!
