These experiences are supervised for safety and designed to welcome visitors of all ages. Sheepdog Trial experiences demonstrate the traditional skills of handlers and dogs working together to gather and move sheep with precision and minimal commands, reflecting a long-standing Irish farming practice.
Selected experiences include complimentary tea, coffee, and cake for visitors. Booking options include private tours for small groups and personalised interpretation. Beehive Huts provides clear information about the age and condition of the huts, the scope of farm interactions, and health and safety measures for animal handling and site access.
