Copper Coast Geopark

The Copper Coast Geopark is an outdoor museum of geological records; it stretches along the coast from Kilfarassy Beach, near Fenor in the east to Ballyvoile Beach near Stradbally to the west. Volcanoes, oceans, deserts and ice sheets all combined to create the rocks which provide the physical foundation of the natural and cultural landscapes of the area. Follow the self-guided “Copper Coast” trail and walking cards available from the The Copper Coast Geopark Centre in Bunmahon. Guided tours for schools and other groups interested in learning about the geology of the area are also available. There is a coffee dock with free Wi-Fi and an exhibition on the mining and geological heritage of the area.
