My visit to Glen Keen Farm was one of the highlights of my trip to Ireland with CIE Tours. The demonstration of the sheep herding dogs was amazing and the scones were to die for: best I've ever had. Expect outstanding hospitality from the owners and staff. Don't miss this delightful stop on any tour to Ireland.

The Lost Valley

The Lost Valley offers a unique window into the cultural heritage of the west of Ireland. Indeed it is itself arguably the finest memorial of the Great Irish Famine that remains today. As The Lost Valley is an active working farm, visitors can experience life on the farm with pet lamb feeding for younger adventurers, a working sheep dog demonstration and a sheep shearing demonstration in season on request. Meeting point/Reception is located at the lost valley - Silver Strand, Louisburgh, Co. Mayo, Ireland.

Reviewed By PaulTheMajor - Dublin, Ireland

This place is truly a "hidden gem" and definitely off the beaten track. With Gerard's lived experience, his vast knowledge of Irish history, his easy and informative style combined with the spectacular and rugged beauty of the valley, this is a most unique way to spend three hours on the edge of the Atlantic. Very good value for €20 each. Highly recommended.
