arigna mining experience

Irelands First Coal Mining Museum - Irelands first and last Coal Mines. In the hill Country of North Roscommon, Argina is situated in a pictureesque valley with breathtaking scenery and unexpoiled landscape.
The work of a Miner was exhausting and often hazaedous, with working conditions that were very harsh and cramped. Experience this for yourself at Arigna Mining Museum. Walk underground through what was the last working mine in Arigna and see how the coal was mined. Take a journey through a part of our national history which you have only ever been able to read about until now.
