Visit a traditional working Connemara mountain sheep farm and experience authentic Irish farm life on a privately guided tour. Meet Tom, the farmer, and explore a farm that has been in the same family for generations, with around 200 ewes and lambs grazing freely in the mountains above Killary Fjord. On arrival, you’ll be outfitted with outdoor gear, including footwear and rainwear provided by the farm.
The tour begins with an impressive sheepdog demonstration, where you’ll see these smart, highly trained dogs in action. In the summer months, Tom showcases the traditional art of sheep shearing with hand shears, a rare and fascinating sight. The tour also includes a scenic walk through the farm, offering breathtaking views of Killary Fjord and the surrounding mountains.
You’ll have the chance to try your hand at bog-cutting with a slean, an ancient method of harvesting peat. The farm experience includes an opportunity to bottle-feed lambs when they’re around, and you’re invited to lend a hand. This immersive experience offers a deep connection with both the land and its traditions.
It is advisable to bring appropriate warm, rain and windproof gear as weather can very changeable. Sunglasses, water/refreshments, camera and sun block.
