Our farm along the Wild Atlantic Way.
Sheepdog demonstrations take place on the stunning Dingle Peninsula in Ireland. Our farm, located in Derrymore on the main Tralee–Dingle road along the Wild Atlantic Way, is set in a breathtaking location between the Slieve Mish mountains and the picturesque Tralee Bay. Demonstrations run daily from March to October, offering visitors the chance to watch our purebred Border Collies, Sam and Jess, herding sheep on the farm.
Additionally, visitors can explore our beautifully renovated old-style cottage on the farm, complete with a cozy turf fire to warm you up after enjoying the sheepdog demonstrations.
Our Sheep & Dogs
During your visit we will give you a demonstration of the dogs at work while explaining to you about the work the dogs undertake throughout the year on the mountains. Both our dogs compete in sheepdog trials throughout the year so we will set up a replica trial field and give a demonstration of this skilled sport it will all take approx. 30 minutes. We have a covered viewing area just in case we get some soft Irish rain on the day of your visit.
