  We had a wonderful trip to the museum followed by a lovely lunch which was a great oppertunity to meet and talk to new people. The guided walk and history of the mines was very informative and interesting despite the weather! The complementary Irish coffee was a wonderful example of Irish hospatility. Thank you for a memorable event.

  Great little village. Completely unspoiled. Fabulous beach. Good pubs. And the copper mine workings are stunning.

  Wow! This place is amazing! What a fantastic idea to take an old ruined church & convert it into a Copper Mine Museum to tell the poignant stories of the Ancestors of the village of Allihies. There were 2 excellent Art Exhibitions & a small gift section with crafting & copper jewellery by local artists Nadette & Nealie. And the food! We met chef Sykoni whose delicious delights were scrumptious. She also does a Seaweed Walk regularly which was fascinating & so informative -a born teacher. Young Lilly, Lucy & Sarah, local school girls who work there were so helpful & full of information. I highly recommend this gem of a cafe with outdoor seating by a lovely garden too.

  An uncommon relic from the past tucked away in the heart of the Beara peninsula.
