A map of Allihies Copper Mine Trail is available at the museum counter. This way-marked walking trail takes in six of the seven mine sites around Allihies. Follow in the footsteps of the miners and enjoy the stunning natural setting of this post-industrial landscape, where two more engine houses still stand and the remains of other mine-related buildings, such as powder houses and dressing floors, await discovery by the visitor. You will travel by the beach along the cliffs and across fields to the mountain. The trail can be completed in sections and would be regarded by walkers as an easy walk. |
