The North Connemara hills are steeped in sheep and wool tradition, and at the Sheep & Wool Centre this history is presented through audiovisual display, demonstrations and exhibits. Several breeds of sheep graze in a unique setting of pleasant walks and spectacular views beside the Centre, and visitors can meet the sheep, and take home a photograph of a neolithic sheep.
The O'Toole Family invite you to come and experience the history and culture of wool in Ireland, and to learn about the importance of protecting our heritage and our culture.
