Arigna Mining Experience
.................................................................................................................................................

Arigna Mining Experience is situated in the hill country of north
Roscommon. The village of Arigna is situated in a picturesque valley
with breathtaking scenery and an unspoiled landscape. Coal mining
was carried out in Arigna for 400 years until 1990, when the last
mines closed. The work of a miner was exhausting and often
hazardous with working conditions that were very harsh and cramped.
All tours of the mine are guided by ex-miners, who give visitors an
incredible insight into a working way of life you could not even
imagine.
