Dunfanaghy Workhouse Heritage Centre

Dunfanaghy Workhouse is a restored 19th-century workhouse that now serves as a heritage centre, offering a glimpse into Ireland's Great Famine history. Families with school-age children can explore the authentic rooms, including the dormitory, kitchen, and dining hall, with informative displays. Highlights include a simulated famine experience and a video presentation. Suitable for children aged 8 and up; younger kids may find some content intense. Facilities include a small café and gift shop, with accessible toilets. Practical tip: pre-book tickets online, especially during peak season.
