Overview of your Dublin tour:

This new tour combines the very best of scenery in Wicklow Mountains National Park with a visit to a working farm on the edge of the national park and a sheepdog demonstration or a visit to a wonderful farm museum. The tour can also include a hike at some stage of the day if desired. Please note that the farm museum and sheepdog demonstration is subject to the farmer's availability, which may not be the same as the driver guide's availability. If this is not available, I will bring you to my brother's sheep and cattle farm to visit a farm that has been in the family for over eight generations, and has been used as a location for a number of movies and TV programmes. My brother welcomes visitors to his farm and will give a fulsome explanation of what it is like to be a farmer in Ireland in the 2020's! This will be discussed over tea/coffee and my mother's homemade biscuits before donning wellies (rubber boots!) if the yard is muddy. We will then tour the yard and see what is happening on the farm.
