Sheepdog experience
Excellent day out , this is my second visit I loved it so much first time I returned with my 3 year old granddaughter as it is so family friendly and accessible for all mobility needs. It is well worth visiting. Lovely food and coffee also on site facilities are clean and well maintained .
Absolutely 3 Thumbs Up!
This was a wonderful activity! My sister, daughter & I loved the dogs and the sheepherder and apprentice. The dogs were stars and Rose especially was adorable! The employees were exceptionally courteous and friendly. The gift shop was lovely and had worthwhile items at fair prices. There were quite a number of people but everthing was handled beautifully. The admission fee was reasonable and our stay was just right!
Great Time!
I enjoyed watching leaning about the Caherconnell Fort and watching the Sheepdog demonstration. The guild for the fort was extremely informative and I got so much more out of it then doing it on my own. And the sheepdog demonstration was very entertaining. The dogs were not on their best behavior that day, which was very entertaining for the crowd, but probably very frustrating to the trainers. But we still saw the incredible talent they had and witnessed why there dogs are so important for farmers. They do let you hold a baby lamb at the end if interested. PS- they have a nice cafe you can grab a bit to eat. Lovely toilet facilities. And it's super close to Poulnabrone Dolmen, which is a must see.
For Animal Lovers
We had a great time learning about sheepdog training and watching them in action…even when Jill went a little rogue. Was wonderful to meet the dogs and hold a sheep after.
A great experience worth the value!
This was a truly amazing experience! I am so impressed with the sheepdogs and how well the Shepards work with them. The dogs and shepards are mesmerizing to watch work. I loved the questions and answers they had go back and forth with the audience. The tour about the archeological aspects of the fort was interesting too and I learned a lot about the area as well as archeology! You get a lot of fun for the small price you pay to enter. I highly recommend!
