The Global Meaningful Travel Map
Caherconnell Fort & Sheepdogs
OUR EXPERIENCES
We do 2 things - we provide guided tours of the fort show how life was lived here in the past as well as detailing the results of the excavations which we have hosted here since 2007. Secondly we host a daily sheepdog show highlighting our traditional upland sheep farming practice.
ABOUT US
We are a family driven by the idea of custodianship. We think of ourselves as custodians of this place and the farming skills handed on to us by previous generations. We strive to share both these skills and our place with our guests in a way that makes both life in this place and those skills sustainable for the long term.
OUR IMPACT
We preserve and protect several UNESCO-designated cultural heritage sites, including stone wall building and upland sheep farming. Additionally, we use the earnings from our tourism products to support archaeological research conducted on site.
