The Workhouse is a community heritage centre situated just South West of the village of Dunfanaghy. The Workhouse has been a centre for heritage and cultural events for the community and a central tourist information hub for visitors since 1995. We offer a number of facilities, including a craft shop, a coffee shop, a playpark, an exhibition and visitor information, as well as ample parking and the starting point of the Dunfanaghy Heritage Trail. This once-operational Workhouse is a monument of tragedy that, thanks to the local community, is now a centre for learning and culture for both Dunfanaghy and visitors to the area. Whether you're looking for information on things to do in the area, wanting to take a tour of our exhibition or just after a wee coffee and cake, make sure to call in and visit us!
