Experience

Mountain Trek And Meet the Alpacas

After experiencing the magic of the Murrough Mountain, we invite you to get up close and personal with our fluffy alpaca friends – a must for all animal lovers..

This experience brings together the beauty of the landscape and the calm and serenity offered by the alpacas. A connection is created between you and the alpacas as you mingle freely with them in their environment.

The Experience

Drive with us over our mountain farm taking the route of the herdsmen of long ago to bring their cattle to the mountain for the winter. The track is over 6 miles / 10km long rising to heights 1,000ft (300m) above sea level. We will tell you about our life and how we farm in the Burren.

We stop many times to show you relics of mountain life thousands of years ago, such as forts, turf tiles, and magnificent examples of dry stone walls. We encourage our guests to walk on the limestone paving, smell the magnificent flowers, examine the ancient relics or stand on the cliff edge.

The Journey

On the mountain you will experience the magic. You will then be taken to mingle with our attention-loving alpacas. These guys are not camera shy, so photo opportunities are in abundance. Feeding these cheeky creatures is a real hoot, and their friendly, inquisitive nature makes meeting them an entertaining experience. These fluffy friends look right into your eyes, giving a sense of peace and serenity.

The Hospitality

When you decide it is time to leave the alpacas, we welcome you to have a cup of tea on the farm and reflect on the time you have spent with us both on the mountain and with the animals.

When you leave the farm, we hope that you will know a little more about the Burren, its people, and especially the alpacas. That you feel a little closer to nature and see its beautify every day from now on.
