What is recorded here

Ardara Heritage Centre tells the story of Donegal tweed from sheep shearing to woven cloth. Discover Ireland describes old photographs, displays and models showing how the craft developed around Ardara, with weavers demonstrating a loom. The visit explains the work behind a finished piece of tweed rather than merely displaying cloth for sale. Check the centre's current arrangements before travelling, as displays and demonstrations can change.
