Connemara’s Hidden Gem
At Glengowla Mines and Family Farm Experience you will find lots to do- an Underground Mine Tour, Sheep Herding and Traditional Irish Turf Cutting Demonstrations. We are about to start offering Farm Walks too all at the one destination.
Glengowla Mines & Family Farm Experience are owned and run by Keith Geoghegan. The mines and farm have been intrinsically entwined with the Geoghegan family for generations. Their ancestors have lived in Glengowla and worked in the mine and farmed the land. After the mine closed, they moved into the Mine Agent’s Cottage and continued to live in the cottage until 1989.
