Take a tour with us and experience traditional, rural Ireland. At Killary Sheep Farm, we use a traditional method of bog-cutting, using the slean, the way it was done in the olden days gone by. If you want to see how it was done , book an amazing tour of our sheep farm, step back in time and try your hand at traditional bog-cutting. 

At Killary sheep farm we bring our guests on picturesque walks with amazing views along country trails and mountains overlooking the Killary Fjord. Killary Fjord is the only true fjord in Ireland, definitely not to be missed. These walks are held at 3pm Booking Essential, Tuesday to Sunday or also available by appointment.

During the months from July to September we shear all our sheep with the hand shears which is the traditional way of sheep shearing. It is unusual to see hand shearing still in practice as most farmers are using machines now, but Tom doesn’t like the machine believing it takes too much wool off and the sheep can get cold.

Sheepdogs are an integral part of farming. On Killary Sheep Farm we have three working dogs, Sweep, Lassie and Fly and there is usually a puppy knocking around the farm too. Training the dogs is hard work and time consuming but its very rewarding when the dog finally gets it right. During our tours, you will witness the combined skills of our sheepdogs and trainers.
