Tips

February 1, 2026

Cycling

Historically, Allihies owed its wealth to copper. At the height of its operation by the powerful Puxley family, the mines employed as many as 1,500 people, including 400 miners, primarily Welsh immigrants. Angered by this interference, local residents refused to provide them with supplies, forcing them to import provisions from Wales. The mines closed in the 1880s, and the few attempts to reopen them failed. As you cycle along the slopes of these orange hills, look out for buildings with tall chimneys and the entrances to abandoned tunnels.

Allihies is a charming village on the Beara Peninsula, known for its colourful houses set against dramatic mountain and sea views. Once a thriving copper mining centre, it now draws visitors with its rich history and the excellent Allihies Copper Mine Museum.
