30 km - A great historical location with a fabulous science drive. While there you can also take advantage of a walk on Acres Lake Board Walk in Drumshanbo or for a longer walk why not take a relaxing stroll or cycle on the 6.5km linear walking and cycling trail along the Shannon Blueway. Stop off for food in Jinnys Bakery or Jackalope in Drumshanbo or try one of the many pubs in Leitrim Village that serve bar food

This Centre provides visitors with a unique insight into what coal mining life was like in the Arigna Valley, since its beginning in the 1700's until closure in 1990. During the underground tour, visitors will experience what it was like to work in some of the narrowest coal seams in the western world. The tour which will last 45 minutes brings visitors to the coal face of the mine, where the methods used to extract coal are demonstrated. Lighting and sound effects in the mine, add to the authenticity of the underground experience.
