Visited the mine on a recent breakaway in Carrick on Shannon. Such a worthwhile experience and would definitely recommend a visit. The staff are such lovely welcoming people and Maurice gave a fantastic tour of the mine providing lots of interesting information as well as first hand accounts of his own mining work. Amazing to see the conditions that people endured. The views from outside the experience are breathtaking but can be viewed from the fabulous coffee shop inside also. Really enjoyed ourselves!

Rathcroghan, in County Roscommon, is the hidden heart of the West of Ireland. When you visit this area, just off the N5 Dublin to Westport road, you can experience the home of Celtic Warrior Queen Maeve, the Goddess Morrigan, the Cattle Raid of Cooley, and seat of Gaelic Royalty – this is the Land of Legends for over 5,000 years. Here you can walk in the footsteps of the ancestors, imagine yourself transported back through time to the age of warriors and heroes, and enjoy this fascinating slice of Irish Heritage. The Rathcroghan Complex, with over 200 ancient monuments, is the historical royal capital of Connacht, Ireland’s Western province. We have been nominated to World Heritage Status, and Rathcroghan Visitor Centre offers a BRAND NEW Rathcroghan and Medieval Tulsk exhibition (open April 2014) with fully insured guided tours tailored to suit you; whether your interest is History, Genealogy, Literature, Archaeology, Heritage, Spirituality, or Mythology. Rathcroghan Visitor Centre, in the Medieval village of Tulsk, provides professional guided tours with a qualified historian/archaeologist; plus self-guide information, maps and advice; family friendly activities, workshops and special events, and full café facilities. You can shop for unique hand crafted gifts, an unparalleled specialist book selection, and expert advice no matter what your interest in Irish Culture, History or Heritage.

The exhibition is very good, with an impressive bookshop for history lovers, the cafe has very good coffee and cake and the best of all is the guided tour by Mike McCarthy. It is excellent! He weaves together myth, archaeology, history, folklore into a great story. Very interesting and entertaining. The guided tour is a must for anyone interested in the story of Maeve.
5. Elphin Windmill

An 18th century fully restored windmill. Its the oldest windmill in Ireland and the only working windmill in the West of IOreland'
Reviewed By ruthsS2634FO
We enjoyed visiting the windmill - the gentleman who showed us around was very knowledgeable and could answer any question we asked with his passion for this restoration project clearly evident. The children loved climbing up to the top of the windmill and 'helping' engage the sails. Spent around 90 minutes here in total, though some of that was just sitting out in the sunshine on the grass enjoying the peaceful setting. Well worth a visit if you're in the area.
