Didn't actually visit the museum just went in for lunch. The cafe is excellent. I did walk many of the mining trails and the information plaques were very good.

Been to his wonderful museum before and only came back for the outstanding cake in the cafe, but it's a cool day so fish chowder seemed a better option. Good size portions full of large chunks of Salmon, Cod & smoked Haddock served with thick sliced seeded bread, all delicious. Staff warm and welcoming, Venue very clean and tidy 😀 We'll be back.

It's a lovely wee cafe but the service was soooo slow. I actually left went to my van and made myself a sandwich. If you're not hungry and have plenty of time it might be fine

The cafe is (as all the reviews are saying) Excellent! I recommend coming to the cafe first, especially if it's to escape the rain 🌧️
It will put you in a good mood for the museum! My parents don't often gush about how good food is, and the salad (I had as a side) can be best described as Generous. Very healthy, fresh and worth finishing everything on your plate. 🍽️✨
Wait time for food can be long (maybe because it's busy - only 20 minutes tops) but it is VERY worth the wait. Then if it's a nice day go on and enjoy the museum proper, haha! It's nice. 🌟

Wonderful industrial heritage experience and fantastic hill and coastal walking with majestic vistas. Would be perfect if walks had regularly spaced vertically mounted glass interpretative panels with sketches or line drawings showing original mine buildings set in what are now fields.

This small compact tour has a lot of information in it. There is a really nice tactile model of how the mind goes down into the ground, showing the different shafts that a blind person can track. You'll have to bring a cited person along though to read all the text

A small but interesting museum on the Beara peninsula. Excellent place to stop and get refreshments if touring the peninsula. Great food and service.

A small but very interesting museum about the history of the Allihies copper mines. There is a little cafeteria but at the beginning of the tourist season (begin April) it was not open yet. Friendly staff. Little souvenirs and book shop. Adults pay € 6,- income which is a fare price. All explanations in English but I forgot to ask if other languages are available.
