Excellent history talk; don’t miss the dogs! - The guide that showed us around the stone fort was very informative. She shared all kinds of history about the fort as well as details about ongoing archaeology explorations. The sheepdogs were marvelous! One of the dogs was having trouble concentrating and this added a bit of humor. (It also made me feel better about my own dogs and their manners.) Every staff member was friendly. All animals are well cared for.

Great experience for adults and children, in the heart of the Burren. - The Caherconnell Stone Fort and Sheepdog demonstration is wonderful for people of all ages. We were there with our adult children and grands. Everyone loved the sheepdog demonstration, it was informative and entertaining. There is a 45 minute tour of the stone fort with an archeologist or archeologist student that was fascinating. If you approach the place from the north you will drive through a very scenic part of the Burren.

Great stop on the Burren - History and animals all in one place - This was an exceptional part of our day! Two amazing activities on the same property. History, conservation, farming, sheep and sheepherding.... with a cafe and gift shop. All in one spot. Amazing:-)

A really great spot to stop at with your family and kids - I had never seen anything like this before. The demonstration was amazing. And we got to pet the dogs afterwards, big highlight for my kids. The people at Caherconnell Fort are so passionate and nice and welcoming.

ok - beautiful demonstration of sheepdogs. also interesting the fort, a farm with protective walls from before Christ

Unmissable day out, for any age - Second time to visit Caherconnell in the past few years. The sheep dog herding show is absolutely brilliant. Loved seeing it all & getting to meet the dogs afterwards. Great facilities on site. Staff so friendly. I keep recommending this place to everyone I know who is travelling to Clare. An absolute unmissable treat for any age!

Amazing tour and wonderful experience - We absolutely loved our visit to Caherconnel! The staff were amazingly kind and so informative, and it was so cool to tour the fort and learn about the area. The sheepdog demonstration was one of a kind. I would highly, highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting in the area.

Perfect for children - Our children (5,10 and 13) loved the show. We've learned an awful lot. The highlight for the children was petting the dogs. Our youngest wanted to take one right away. Great activity for kids.

Sheepdog Demonstration that will be a highlight of your trip!! - This was a highlight of our vacation. The sheepdog demonstration was an Amazing experience - educational, fun, and entertaining (Jess dog!). The herdsman was a wonderful young man - knowledgeable, personable, and funny. He stayed and answered everyone's questions. I have border collies and I am a vet and learned some new things. It is well worth making this a stop on any Ireland vacation or day trip. They have a Cafe with good food (shops, sandwiches, sweets) and a lovely gift so as well (lots of sheep themed gifts). We arrived a little early so had time to shop. Watch the demonstration, and eat lunch. We saw the sign along the road and followed it in. We are so glad we did!!

Overall a great family experience - We loved seeing the sheepdogs in action and also getting to visit with them at the end! Everyone who worked there was so nice and helpful!
