Glenroe Open Farm

Glenroe Open Farm at Kilcoole, County Wicklow, is a visitor farm on the coastal side of the county, set up for people to walk among farm animals rather than simply look at them from a distance.

Farms of this kind are aimed squarely at families, with animals to see and feed, outdoor space to run about in, and refreshments on site. It gives children a look at working agriculture and native and farmyard species close up. Opening is generally seasonal, so it is worth checking times before setting out.
