Our Commitment to Sustainability
At Glengowla Mines, we are proud to preserve and share Ireland’s rich mining heritage—but we are just as committed to protecting its future. As caretakers of this historic site and its surrounding landscape, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do.
To remain a place of beauty for generations to come.
We strive to minimise our environmental impact through responsible tourism practices and ongoing conservation efforts. Our mine tours and activities are designed not only to educate but also to inspire a deeper respect for our natural world. From maintaining the integrity of the land and waterways around the mines to reducing waste and energy use, we take thoughtful steps to ensure Glengowla Mines remains a place of beauty for generations to come.
We also work closely with local artisans, farmers, and suppliers to support the regional economy and promote sustainable, community driven development. Our gift shop features locally sourced products, many handcrafted from natural or recycled materials, offering visitors a way to shop consciously and support local talent.
Respect & Preservation
Whether you’re visiting for a guided mine tour, enjoying a sheepdog demonstration, or simply exploring the grounds, we invite you to join us in respecting and preserving this special place.
Together, we can keep Glengowla Mine’s story alive.
