We had been here previously to visit the museum but pleasantly surprised to find a lovely little cafe within, so we headed back there again when in the area. We were not disappointed, as the food was as good as ever & the gorgeous bakes are freshly made on site by the lady who runs the cafe. It's housed within an old church but very well renovated & adapted to purpose. There's lots of interesting information regarding the mines & the area in general there to check out. The Copper Coast drive has great panoramic views all along the coastline, so definitely worth a visit when in the area.

We visited the Visitor Centre during the week. The lady running the centre was very welcoming and full of information. We walked around the centre for about 20 minutes then had coffee and cakes and sat in the sun outside at one of the tables. It was a lovely stop for an hour or so.

We dropped into the Copper Coast Geopark visitor centre for a break and something to eat while travelling along the scenic southern coast of Ireland in County Waterford. The centre is located in a former church. which is well restored and equipped with a cosy café, an exhibition on the local Copper mine, complete with equipment memorabilia, archaeological archaeological ordnance survey maps and photos on the wall. This was a significant mining area during the 19th century, which has left an appreciable cultural heritage. We had homemade vegetable soup and freshly prepared sandwiches on the benches outside, followed by coffee with apple pie - all quite tasty. We enjoyed the spectacular scenery and autumn foliage as we drove along by the Copper Coast Geopark, extending from Stradbally in the west to Kilfarrasy in the east, a trip of about 10 miles. A quietly memorable experience.
