An absolute amazing experience!

John and his team were knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming as we walked along with the adorable group of blacknose sheep.

If you’re looking for an immersive, unforgettable experience, I highly recommend joining this incredible sheep-guided tour!

We found a flyer about walking sheep in a hotel we stayed at. My friend and I decided since we would be driving close to Tobercurry it would certainly be worth doing – walking sheep in Ireland?! How can you not try this?! What a wonderful time we had! John met us with his dog Lassie and our adventure began. We were given our sheep and John brought one with him as well and we walked thru beautiful fields with other sheep and the views were amazing! We learned about a working farm in Ireland and about the sheep. John is a wonderful guide for taking sheep for a walk. The farm is well done and Lassie is an amazing dog to watch with the sheep! If you are looking for a true Ireland experience this is the one to go do!! Can’t wait to go back!!

Very nice experience guided with John and his wonderful dog and Valais Blacknose. Very nice for all family. Nice walk and explanation about the area, the sheep, the dog work and all kind of typical Irish Tales of the area. Enjoy!!!

A unique experience! Definitely a highlight of our road trip through Ireland. We received a very warm welcome from the whole family and learnt a lot about Ireland. We took the sheep for a long walk through the different fields and the forest. The sheep are super cute and so fluffy. It was also very cool to see the sheep dog in action. We can definitely recommend the black nose sheep tour 🙂

We’re so grateful for the unforgettable experience at this idyllic farm. Spending time with the charming Valais Blacknose sheep was pure joy, and walking alongside them made for such a special connection. Our host, John, was incredible—sharing fascinating insights about sheep farming and Irish history, all with warmth, wit, and plenty of laughs. And of course, a huge thank you to the real star of the day—Lassie, the brilliant border collie who kept us all (humans included) in perfect order. We can’t recommend this magical experience enough!

Walking with Valais Blacknose Sheep in the heart of the Irish countryside was an outstanding highlight of our trip. From the moment we arrived, John greeted us warmly and immediately made us feel welcome. His friendliness and enthusiasm set the tone for an experience that felt both authentic and special.
The Valais Blacknose Sheep were a delight — calm, gentle, and full of character. It was clear how well cared-for and loved they are, which made walking alongside them both relaxing and joyful. John’s depth of knowledge and passion for the breed and the landscape came across in every explanation, adding real insight and meaning to the experience.
An especially memorable touch was being invited for tea afterwards — an unexpected and genuinely heart-warming gesture that rounded off the visit perfectly. It gave us the chance to enjoy further conversation, learn more about the farm, and feel part of something truly personal.

My sister and I had the most incredible time walking with Blacknose Sheep with John around his beautiful farm! They really are the world’s cutest sheep! We also got to walk with Lassie, their equally adorable dog. John is extremely friendly and personable and eager to welcome visitors. This was definitely a highlight from our road trip around Ireland!

Sheep are very peaceful animal. This sheep are like fluffy clouds among daylight. Can’t wait to visit Ox Mountain again! =)

We had a great time with John walking the sheep! Lassie, the border collie, helped round them up for us. The whole family is wonderful.

This tour was easily one of the highlights of our holiday in Ireland. The entire experience—from meeting John and walking with the beautiful Valais sheep—exceeded our expectations and then some. Being able to have this experience on an actual working farm and learn more about the history of both the land, sheep, and surrounding area from John truly added to our visit. John was incredibly generous with sharing both his insights, extraordinary farm, and leading us with the sheep (alongside their sweet and highly attentive sheep herding dog Lassie!). This is a truly unique experience we will never forget and we highly recommend to anyone visiting Ireland.

This was a definitive highlight from our road trip around Ireland! My sister and I visited the farm and enjoyed a walk with John and his adorable blacknose sheep around the pastures. They really are the cutest sheep in the world! John and Anne are extremely friendly and welcoming. The sheep make it impossible not to smile. Lassie the border collie joined us for our walk, and she is equally as adorable as the sheep. I cannot recommend this experience enough!

Let me just start by saying I cannot say enough about this wonderful experience.
John and his daughter were some of the kindest, most interesting people. We met in our 10 days in Ireland, and they were many kind of interesting people, so that’s saying a lot.
They accommodated us finding out about their wonderful service last minute and accommodated us the same day.
What we thought would be an hour walk with some sheep, through some beautiful fields, turned into a two hour history lesson on everything you could imagine that was sweet and unusual about Ireland.
Walking through a few of these fields, seeing the beautiful landscaping, and even getting a wonderfully captivating sheepdog demonstration from their sweet pup Lassie!
I don’t think my trip to Ireland would’ve been complete without this incredible experience and my 30 year old son and 32-year-old daughter concur wholeheartedly.

What a wonderful gift, John and his daughter gave to us and will give it to you on this incredibly affordable Ireland experience.

It was a good experience to walk with the sheep! The sheep were incredibly cute and fluffy. Everyone even got their own sheep to walk with, which was so much fun. The hosts, a very friendly father and daughter duo (and their shy dog, Lassie!), were kind and lovely to chat with throughout the walk. We learned a lot about the sheep, the farm, and the land. I would definitely recommend this experience!

We absolutely loved this part of our trip! It was lovely to meet the sheep and the farm owners and go for a great walk around a functional Irish farm. The hosts are wonderful company and very knowledgeable. Could not recommend this experience more!

Amazing experience! These sheep are so cute and lovely. What made this walking unforgettable is John and his family who shared with us all the Irish traditions, history and fun. I recommend this experience to anyone is visiting Ireland. See you soon John!

A lovely farm with very warm-hearted hosts. A very interesting sheep walk with lots of information. Very enjoyable experience i can recommend!

Amazing experience! One of our favorite moments in Ireland. Worth the trip. John and his wife were the kindest hosts. Our time with the sheep and their dog Lassy was priceless!

This was such a wonderful experience! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the time we spent with the sheep, as well as with the family. They clearly care deeply about the land, their community, and the animals. They have a very special thing, and it was such an unforgettable experience.

Wunderbare Black Nose Walking Tour mit viel Herz und Passion. Hier kann man als einzigartige Tour in Irland mit süßen Valider Schafen spazieren gehen. John und seine Tochter haben die Passion pur und die Tour war wunderbar. Super süße Schafe und unvergessliche Experience.

My mum and I visited last week and we had a lovely time at the farm! We got to walk the sheep around the fields and John was providing beautiful and interesting stories about the area and the farm. It was a really relaxing experience! We also asked for a tour on a really short notice (same day) and John made it work even though he was supposed to be away for the day. We were really grateful that it all worked out and that we got to enjoy the walk with the sheep 😊 We would highly recommend it to everyone who is in the area!

Superbe expérience dirigée par un accompagnateur, John, exceptionnel….une bible de la région et des montons Valais Blacknose.
Belle balade, démonstration de dressage de chien de berger, légendes et comtes locaux.
Un régal pour les petits et les grands.
À faire.
