Rathbaun Farm
.................................................................................................................................................

Rathbaun Farm is situated in a rural area of Southwest County Galway
in Ardrahan. The Connolly family have been farming the 80 acres of
land for over 200 years and Fintan Connolly continues this tradition
today. The main livestock are sheep, with some cows and horses.
Visitors to Rathbaun Farm will become enchanted by its thatched
cottage home, turf fire, stone walls and an array of animals. Time
spent here gives a glimpse into the daily workings of a sheep-farm
with plenty of time to see the animals, feed the lambs, talk to the
family and explore the farmyard. The farm is nestled in the west of
Ireland with the Slieve Aughty Mountains to the South and the
Atlantic Ocean to the West. A wonderful setting for a wonderful
experience!
