Excellent hi-res drone video of the Wicklow Mountains Mines.

The finest workers in stone are not copper or steel tools, but the gentle touches of air and water working at their leisure with a liberal allowance of time.

I do believe a visit to Wicklow in person is possible as part of the NAMHO2016 conference.

Looking forward to it.

Any underground access at these sites?

I don't think we will be going underground there on this NAMHO (if the trip description is anything to go by). But I am sure at the previous NAMHO (2003) in Ireland that we did.

I don't have my logbook to hand though so I can't be sure.

No matter, there appears to be plenty to see on the surface in any case 😉

There is quite a bit of access but whether the organisers have permission is another matter?

I suspect that is the crux of the matter.
