About Us
Red Mountain Open Farm got its name from the Red Mountain, which is the hill between the Farm and Donore Village. It is believed by some researchers that the colour of the sunrise on the morning of the Winter Solstice was the original inspiration for the name of the hill over which that sunrise occurs when viewed from Newgrange. The hill is called Red Mountain.
Located just five minutes from the Bru na Boinne Visitor Centre and Donore Village our Open Farm caters for Toddlers to Eight Year olds with lots of peddle tractors, a play village with swings and slides, our outdoor play area, lots of small farm animals to see and our Blue Barrel Express Train!
Parents are also catered for with our coffee barn, a landscaped farm walk and a countryside trip on our horse and carriage. Everyone is guaranteed to have a good time here at Red Mountain Open Farm.
We start off each year with our Easter Treasure Hunt and finish each year with our Halloween Event with other events in-between. Our school tour season starts in late April and runs until the end of June. We cater for crèches, Montessori and primary schools up to first class. Booking is through our website under the ‘School Tours’ section!
We have a large outdoor picnic area with lots of picnic tables, swings, slides and a sandpit where your children can play while you relax over a coffee. For the not so nice days we also have an indoor play area and a large indoor picnic area. So be sure to bring your picnic with you on the day as to make your visit with us more enjoyable!
