Accessibility Welcome Page - Copper Coast UNESCO Global Geopark

Copper Coast UNESCO Global Geopark encompasses a diverse range of natural, cultural, and heritage sites spread across a large geographic area. As a result, accessibility can vary significantly between locations.

Uneven natural surfaces, including gravel, sand, grass, and rocky terrain
Steep gradients and inclines
Narrow pathways, steps, or restricted access points
Limited seating, rest areas, or shelter in outdoor locations
Variable lighting conditions in heritage buildings and outdoor environments
Reduced accessibility during adverse weather conditions

Because accessibility features differ from site to site, we encourage visitors with disabilities, mobility requirements, sensory impairments, or any other specific access needs to contact us before their visit. We will be happy to provide information on suitable locations, walking routes, facilities, and experiences to help you plan your visit.

The Copper Coast drive was well worth the trip. As well there were many places to stop along the way that gave information on the history of old. The scenic views were stunning for all of us to enjoy.

We got a brilliant geology and history tour of the geopark from Robbie and Bruce. They are extremely knowledgeable and engaging guides and our group thoroughly enjoyed our tour of to the geopark garden, Tankardstown mine, Trá na mBó and the visitor centre.
