A different kind of holiday is to go walking with the donkey. It is great fun for families or donkey lovers alike. For many years the donkeys of Ireland were seen as the most sturdy, strongest and most hardworking farm animals you could keep. They had to haul the peat for the fire, the load of seaweed to fertilize the ground and they had to pull the cart to wherever to road was going...

This holiday is based in our An Sibin Riding Centre, in the West of Ireland in the rolling hills of the rugged, rural Slieve Aughty Mountains. Our guests stay in individually decorated en suite rooms and can enjoy the cosy ambiance of the sitting rooms.

The unique farm setting also includes many friendly pet farm animals and sign posted walking trails around the grounds.

Your donkey walking tours will be taking you at a very moderate donkey pace through our beautiful peaceful countryside of forests and heather and bog land – it is like a step back in time!

We offer our donkey walking holiday usually as a 3 night / 2 day package from Wednesday to Saturday, but we can be flexible on request.
