About
Visit a working heritage farm in the Antrim Hills, inspired by the smallholdings that supported the local iron ore mining community over 150 years ago. This immersive experience invites visitors to explore traditional farming practices through a guided tour of the site.
See flax, oats and potato crops at different stages of the harvest, and learn about their historical importance as well as their viability and sustainability today. Visitors will have the opportunity to get hands-on with traditional harvest tasks such as pulling flax or threshing oats, offering a real connection to past ways of life.
The visit also includes a short talk on the iron ore mining heritage of the area, with a chance to view a reconstructed furnace and discover how ore from the hills was smelted using Iron Age techniques. Learn more about the annual furnace festival, which celebrates and keeps these remarkable skills alive.
Reflecting Heritage at Risk, this experience highlights the importance of preserving traditional farming methods, industrial heritage and practical skills.
