Foxford Woollen Mills Visitor Centre(Foxford, Co Mayo, Ireland)

Through the ingenious Historical Woollen Mill Tour you can experience life in post-famine Mayo: the poverty and deprivation of the people will astound you. As Irish Sister of Charity, Mother Agnes Morrogh Bernard brought a ray of hope to the people of Foxford and its surrounding area. See how she revitalised the community with her faith and determination. A unique feature of the Historical Woollen Mill Tour is the opportunity to watch skilled crafts people produce the world famous Foxford rugs, blankets and tweeds.
