An Experience Like No Other.

Glengowla Mines & Family Farm Experience is proudly owned and operated by Keith Geoghegan and his family, who have called Glengowla home for generations. The Geoghegan’s are deeply rooted in this land, from working the mine, farming the land, and living at the heart of Connemara’s rich heritage.

After the mine ceased operations in the 19th century, the Geoghegan family moved into the former Mine Agent’s Cottage, where they lived until 1989. Just a few years later, in 1991, they began the work of excavating the old mine shafts, reviving a piece of history and transforming it into the unique visitor experience it is today.
