Ireland has so many family-friendly experiences, one trip to the country won’t cover even a fraction of them. But one experience family travelers should reserve can be found near Dingle, on Ireland’s southwest coast.
Located on Slea Head is Aedán’s Farm, a sprawling area teeming with unique activities and sights. Its most popular experience invites visitors to hold, cuddle and bottle feed baby lambs. Open seasonally, this activity is a great way to introduce kids to young wildlife in a safe and controlled environment. Visitors also receive insight into the care of lambs, lambing season and the farm’s greater dedication to animal welfare.
The farm offers sheepdog demonstrations, showcasing the intelligence and skill of trained border collies. Kids will love seeing border collies work together with their handler to herd sheep across the rugged landscape.
And for history lovers, Aedán’s Farm is also home to several early Christian, beehive-shaped huts built by early monks. These dry stone structures were designed to be waterproof and durable, and visitors can take either a self-guided or guided tour of the huts to learn about life in early Christian Ireland.
