Our horse tours are based in County Wicklow 30km (45 mins) from Dublin City. More than a horse trek, it involves the dramatic history of the Irish horse. The last Irish wolf was taken by a hunting wolfhound in 1785. Now we can only imagine this land; once a place of rebels and redcoats, huntsmen and highwaymen, native clans and bold invaders; Wolftrek into Irish history.

The gardens extend over approximately three acres and contain an eclectic collection of plants from around the world including areas of exciting, bold herbaceous planting and a shade garden of ferns, grasses bamboos and other choice woodland plants punctuated by enormous granite boulders. There is a shallow, linear reflecting pool set amidst exuberant tropical and prairie planting. The latest addition is a minimalist courtyard offering a space of austere tranquillity in contrast to the lavish exuberance of the surrounding gardens.

"I was lucky enough to find Wolftrek online and book my reservation. I made my way out to their stable on a public bus and got to take a very short scenic walk to their property. I was greeted by a friendly hound and introduced to three staff. A young gentleman who was riding with us to break in a ne..."w horse, and a husband and wife who would be conducting the tour. The wife carried my camera throughout the entire ride and took pictures of us while the husband gave a very informative and entertaining tour. I was incredibly lucky to have beautiful weather and the tour all to myself. The views were spectacular and it was a nice easy ride. They brought their traditional flask filled with their own mixture and gave me a try. I am an experienced rider and would have liked to go faster, but everyone else would probably prefer the pace.They have everything you need to ride, just wear a pair of jeans and bring a camera!

"Me and my girlfriend travelled to Ireland last summer and as a surprise I organized a trip with Wolftrek for just the two of us. We could not have been more happy!
Ronan and his family are very enthusiastic and keep a great place with lovely horses. For the more experienced riders as well as the ne..."wbies. On the trip Ronan told of great stories and facts about the local scenery and it was magical. A definite recommendation for anyone looking for an awesome horse riding experience in the country side of Ireland!

"Wonderful grounds and excellent food and drink. You have your own quiet space and yet are in a great atmosphere. Highly recommended. Will be taking on the course next year."
