You will walk around the farm, meet our sheep, hear the story of the land and its people back to famine times and beyond. This is a hill farm so involves a bit of hill walking at a leisurely pace that suits you. We are organic, and I am a farming for nature ambassador continuing old traditions of farming handed down through five generations of our family who have nurtured and cared for this land and preserved its natural habitat to the present day. You will see wonderful scenery on the walk. See, Peat Bog, turf harvested for the fire in bygone days, see diversity of seasonal plants and flowers that grow on the mountain. The purple heather and yellow gorse. Sometimes, the skylark will serenade us on our walk. A rare bird in most parts of Ireland these days. We will visit the Archaeological site, standing stone on the farm, see and hear about Fairy Forts and the early settlers on these lands. Learn about our trees, unique habitat. If you like this experience but the scheduled time or date does not suit, please message me and we can schedule a time that does. The walk is on a hill sheep farm so we don't allow dogs. The land is average mountain land sometimes wet, good walking boots/shoes and light rain gear needed. About 2 hours! At the end of this walk, you might well feel, that time has stood still in our valley.

Alpacas take to trekking quite easily. They walk in a line, one behind the other on a head collar & lead rope. Our guided treks start at our farm and ascend into the forest. The walk itself is at a very leisurely pace and lasts about 1.5 hours (there are inclines and the terrain is uneven with tree roots underfoot). PLEASE NOTE: MINIMUM AGE 12 YEARS, no infant carriers (and all guests must speak English). When you arrive on site, the alpacas will be grazing, and we will call them in using their yellow food bucket! Simon and I will introduce you to the alpacas whist getting them ready with head collars and leads. We will have a brief health & safety chat, as well as give you some idea of what to expect and some pointers so you can interact with your alpaca. We will also introduce you to all of their individual quirks and personalities. Alpacas are not able to carry packs or people, so they will accompany us as we walk the forest trail. We try not to let them stop to nibble grass for long periods. Half-way around the walk, we release the alpacas in an enclosed area, so we can feed them treats, and you can get very close and intimate with them. They will love you when we give you the apples and carrots to feed them. There will be plenty of photo opportunities throughout your visit. When we return to the farm, we will finish with a fibre and spinning demonstration.
