The mountains and lake create a stunning contrast, filling your eyes and soul with endless shades of green and blue. On this trail you will not only see stunning scenery, but you will also meet our Valais black-nosed sheep. These good-natured creatures, with their unique coat and character, will be your companions on this exciting journey.
Wandering with Valais Blacknose Sheep: A Unique Adventure in Sligo https://walkingtrips.ie/
Every walk with the sheep is a little adventure. You will walk with these sheep, and if they decide to stop, you will have to stop too. This leisurely journey does not require much effort, but every moment spent here fills you with a feeling of peace and joy. The walk will not only introduce you to unique landscapes, but will also allow you to enjoy the atmosphere of a remote farm, where every stone and bush speaks of antiquity and tradition.
Our trekking trips are designed for groups of 4 to 8 people, and each of you will receive one sheep as a companion. For those under 8 years old, we have the opportunity to walk a sheep in pairs with an adult. From the age of 12, you can already control the sheep on your own, but an adult must still be nearby. We invite you to go on this wonderful journey, but remember that dogs are not allowed on our route, so as not to disturb the sheep and not disturb the peace of nature.
The walk lasts two hours and the gravel trail with small hills is ideal for family outings. It is located only 15 kilometers from our farm, which makes it accessible to everyone.
Prices for this unique experience are very affordable: 45 euros for an adult and 25 euros for a child. We also offer family rates so your family can enjoy this amazing adventure at an affordable price. If you would like to arrange a private trek, available mid-week, prices start from €75. For bookings and further information you can contact us by email at dingerwhite(at)gmail.com or by phone on 0868547770.
This trek with the Valais Blacknose Sheep is not just a walk, but a real immersion in Irish culture and nature that will leave an unforgettable impression in both your memory and the hearts of your loved ones.
