Overview

Next, enjoy an authentic Irish experience with a traditional sheepdog demonstration, where you’ll witness a skilled shepherd and his dog expertly herding a flock of sheep in the countryside.
Continue with a scenic drive through the breathtaking Wicklow Mountains, stopping for photos at the stunning Wicklow Gap, one of the most picturesque viewpoints in the region.
