The Arigna Mining Experience
Ireland has a long history of using coal as a source of energy with the countries first mines dating back as far as the sixteen hundreds. But just how bad were the conditions that these men worked in?
Our Laura popped down to The Arigna Mining Experience in County Roscommon to get a real taster of the life of a miner.
Arigna Mining Experience - I ???? Ireland #3
In this episode of I ???? Ireland, we journey underground at the Arigna Mining Experience in Co. Roscommon!
Arigna was once one of the biggest coal mines in Ireland but it closed in 1990. The Arigna Mining Experience opened as a tourist attraction afterwards.
We had a great time underground. It's cold so bring a good coat if you do decide to visit.

Go to Arigna Mine in Co Roscommon Ireland
I love to go to places like this a Coal Mine. My father was a Coal Miner and my mum still works in a Coal Mine. It is a hard work and as most people doesn't know what it involves it is nice to go and see and show others what it is all about.
Knowing that in a country that I live now there is a place that warms hearts of many people - if you are near Co Roscommon check it out here link to their website:
Happy Visiting Everyone,

Arigna Mines by Nicole
Today I travelled to Arigna Coal Mines in Roscommon with Dad, Alan, Grannie and Grandad who was 87 last week. He worked in mining in Castlecomer and in Tynagh. I was surprised to hear that they mined coal from Arigna until 1989 and it was the last coal mine in Ireland. These days our coal comes from China & Poland. The man who gave us the tour of the mine was interesting and he started work there in 1974 at the age of 15. Maybe they were tougher then!!
So enjoy the 5 minute video and I hope you like it.
