Former leadmine and smelting works - operational c 1807-1913. Some great views North to South Dublin suburbs of Dun Laoighaire and region.

Ballychorus Leadmine Tower, is a fascinating historical site. It stands as a testament to Ireland's mining heritage, specifically the lead mining industry.

The tower, was once part of a complex lead mining operation. Its construction dates back to the 1800s when lead was a valuable resource and mining played a pivotal role in local economies. The tower itself served as a furnace, where lead ore was processed and smelted to extract the valuable metal.

Nestled within the Ballycorus region, the tower is surrounded by the enchanting beauty of nature, creating a striking contrast between the historic industrial structure and the serene landscape.
