In 1853, eminent Victorian geologist, Warington W. Smyth, noted that 'the county of Wicklow has long enjoyed a celebrity due no less to its mines and minerals than to the natural beauties which adorn its landscapes'. This is no less true today, for County Wicklow, the Garden of Ireland, is also this island's foremost historic mining county. Shot in ultra HD video, this short film depicts aerial views of Wicklow's stunning wealth of surviving mining heritage features. It showcases the Glendasan, Glendalough and Glenmalure lead mines in the beautiful Wicklow Mountains, and the copper and pyrite mines in the picturesque Vale of Avoca.
Music track featured in this film: 'Elegy' by Lisa Gerrard and Patrick Cassidy.
