Achill is rich in cultural, artistic traditions and history. At the Achill Experience we have a collection of 18 story boards telling some of these stories.
Boley House (Deserted Village)
We have a replica Boley House – this is a structure replicated to look like the houses in the Deserted Village years ago. Step inside and see what is was like for the people living there including artefacts and tools they used for their farming.
