A fifth-generation working mountain sheep farm on the Ring of Kerry where you can watch skilled border collies round up flocks against the stunning backdrop of Moll's Gap.
The headline experience: watch John Kissane and his border collies expertly gather and herd sheep across the farm's mountainous terrain. Demonstrations run on a published schedule — no two are quite the same, and the dogs' skill is remarkable.
During the summer months (roughly June to September), you can see traditional sheep shearing and even have a go yourself while John holds the sheep for you.
In springtime, hundreds of lambs are born on the farm. Visitors can cuddle and help bottle-feed the orphan pet lambs — a firm favourite with children.
If you fall for the flock, you can adopt one of the farm's mountain sheep and help preserve this Irish hill-farming heritage.
Three marked walks cross the farm with spectacular views of the MacGillycuddy's Reeks and the Black Valley. There's also a Puzzle Walk and Treasure Trail for families.
The Avoca Shop & Café sits right in the centre of the farm at Moll's Gap. Stop for coffee, lunch, or browse Irish crafts and food products between demonstrations.
