Meet them
Feed the herd
Our ten Nigerian Dwarf pygmy kids come to the fence for a fistful of feed - patient, greedy and endlessly good company for children.
The Farm
Pet the pygmy goats
Ten Nigerian Dwarf pygmy kids - some snow white, some black, brown and white - born this summer. Bring the children, bring a handful of feed, and stay for a scone afterwards.
Down at the paddock
Small animals, big personalities
Feeding happens through the afternoon when the café is open. Groups and school visits are welcome by arrangement.
From the yard
Eggs, beef & ice cream
Quail eggs, estate-reared beef and organic ice cream sold at the shop when supplies allow - seasonal and in small numbers.
Growing
The petting farm
The paddock is expanding with more small breeds and quail, alongside goat yoga sessions in the field on fine mornings.
Historic farmyard visits
Step back into the Irish farmyard
Kyle Park has farmed this valley for over two centuries. Our historic farmyard visits bring that story to life for schools, families and groups - the old stone outbuildings, the hay meadows, the animals that have always been part of life here.
The farmyard
The historic yard
Walk the original farmyard buildings that have served the estate for generations, still in use today beside the paddocks and the walled garden.
The land
Hay meadows & the valley
See how the land was worked through the seasons - hay making, grazing and the rhythms of the farming year in the Carlow valley below the house.
From the garden
Grow it, rear it, share it
From the polytunnel and kitchen garden to estate-reared beef and quail eggs, see where food comes from before it reaches The View Café.
