Dublin beautiful but...

little_sheep

First hello everybody !

I'm a french sheep (with a bad english level) and I'm here (in Santry) until end of august.
Dublin is a good city but not very nice for a trek (it's very hard to find a sheep in middle of O'conneil street).
Anyway I would like to know which area is good to visit near dublin. I already visit Howth, Wicklow co. (sally Gap, glendalough...), Trim, seven wonder of Fore, and I went to dundalk for a funny trek in mountain (where I found many dead sheep). I have my own car so I can travel a little (I already visit West of Ireland last year).
so if you have any idea (and if there is lot of sheep it's better) just tell me !
have a nice night !

Sheep.

You should try visiting Newgrange - an ancient burial mound near Drogheda. They have sheep there too.

Or you could take a ferry trip to Holyhead - there are LOTS of sheep in Wales.

Bon chance!

Better to go to New Zealand, loads of sheep there, some goats too. Bring the wellies.

I've never seen so many sheep as they have on the plain's of the Curragh.

I wonder who killed those Dundalk sheep. May they rest in fleece.

There was a French School Tour visiting Maeve's Gap. They killed them all in 1 afternoon* We'd only just got the population back on an even keel after the Foot & Mouth too.

OP, Clonmacnoise is gorgeous. Take a trip there, it's beside Athlone.

Ok, no need to travel any further than Caple St. to find your sheep apparently!.

Here's something I bought earlier ***late edit*** Here's one of Jon's sloppy seconds

sally gap is a must and there are dozens of walks to do around there (sheep come and go, buut there are a good few of them).

lough dan and lough tay are a must. no sheep but hundreds of deer and rabbits.

powerscourt gardens are a must too. no sheep

climb up the top of sugarloaf. sheep can be seen in the distance

Go to the Curragh in Co Kildare, sheep everywhere!

You should visit Fairview as soon as possible. I live there, it's great!
