Wonderful Glen Keen Farm is a wonderful experience of a working sheep farm, with the sheep herding exhibition and famine tour the best in the west of Ireland! It has a very informative visitor centre and a lovely café and craft shop. Definitely visit if you’re in the Louisburgh area. Highlight of my vacation in Ireland! The family who owns this farm are just wonderful! You get to see how the dogs work with the sheep, Michael was just wonderful as well as his dogs! We enjoyed a lovely lunch with our tour group with music and dancing. I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed the opportunity to see this wonderful family owned farm. Was treated as family while we were there, owner came out and said a few lovely words and introduced his son. This is a must see!
