Exploring the Allihies Copper Mine in West Cork
Some of the photos of the mine can be viewed from this link:
Back in May 2012 we decided to explore the old abandoned Copper Mine in Allihies, Co. Cork which was at one point the largest copper mining facility in Europe employing over 1,500 people in the mid 1800's. It closed a few decades later, what remains now is the engine house and an abundance of fenced off mineshafts littered across the area.

Allihies Mines Collapse
A hole appeared overnight on a field which was only being worked on recently with tractor driving all over it. This hole could swallow up a few tractors. The Allihies Mines were opened in the early 18th century.

Allihies mines collapse part 2
Allihies Mines Collapse part two, as it already happened not much further away just a few years back. The floors part of Allihies has many old shafts and with all the rain that we have had erosion has brought about another collapse. This time it has taken a bit of the road away with it. The road in question is closed and maybe for quite some time….
