Glengowla Mines

Glengowla Silver and Lead Mines are a remarkable and impressive example of how part of our valuable industrial heritage has been reclaimed, restored and transformed into an outstanding visitor attraction. The mine is noted for it's rare and beautiful octahedral crystals of fluorite and quartz. Pitch pine timbers believed to be brought back to the west of Ireland by the emigrant coffin ships are still intact in the mine today. We also offer sheepdog demonstrations as well as interactive turf cutting activities to provide a memorable tour that sudents are sure to enjoy. Please see our website for full list of seasonal hours and prices.
