Arigna Mining Experience

Located 50 minutes from Castlerea the Arigna Mining Experience is located in a beautiful scenic location overlooking Lough Allen where they bring history to life, tell the story of Ireland’s coal mining industry and explore the themes of energy – past, present and future. At Arigna, we don’t just take you on a journey back in time, we also bring you underground! The centre is a community-inspired initiative that preserves the 400-year coal mining heritage of this area and allows visitors an insight into coal mining life as it was in the Arigna Valley for centuries.
