Cullens Sheep Farm sits in the heart of Glendalough, on the rugged mountain slopes around this ancient and historic valley. We are a four-generation family farm, and everything we do is shaped by tradition, resilience, and a deep love for the land – a way of life that is slowly disappearing.
We invite visitors to slow down, step back in time, and share, even for a short while, in the peaceful rhythm of our mountain farm. A visit with us is about real connection: to the land, to the animals, and to the farming way of life that has shaped this place and our family for generations.
What We Offer:
-
Learn about the challenges and rewards of traditional hill sheep farming
-
Experience the partnership between one shepherd, his hardworking border collie dogs, and the flock
-
Live sheepdog demonstrations, showing the skill and communication between dog and farmer
-
Interact with, and if they wish, hold our baby lambs – a highlight that makes the visit even more memorable
-
Explore our old farm and machinery museum, showcasing traditional tools and rural Irish life
