Greenan Maze Activities

  • Greenan Farm

The many farm animals prove a great attraction for the all kids as well as the adults. It is still a working hill-farm with many animals in their farm-yards and paddocks.

"Greenan Farm Museum And Maze"

 

  • The Maze

Standing on half an acre, this tricky Celtic maze will positively puzzle you! A stream flows through it to the pond in the middle and a viewing tower overlooks the excitement below. Unique in design, this hedge maze is the highlight of most people’s day.

"Greenan Maze in Wicklow"

  • Solstice Maze

The Solstice Maze is a relaxing, contemplative pathway for adults, set within a large stone circle. It allows a chance to un-wind and enjoy the tranquility of the beautiful Wicklow Mountains. It was created on the winter solstice, December 21st, and there are 21 stones encircling 4 large standing stones representing the seasons.

  • Museums

Take an imaginative trip into a by-gone era and try to envisage how craftsmen plied their trade when farming life depended on horse drawn machinery and hand-made materials. An educational stroll around the museums will leave you with a sense of wonder and respect for a time of hard work and worth-while craftsmanship. This impressive collection is one of the largest in Ireland.

"The Greenan Maze"

 

  • The Old Farmhouse

Dates from the 16th century and was a safe-house for Irish rebels, such as Michael Dwyer and Andrew Burke, in the 1798 rebellion.
Genuine weapons, including pikes, are on display. The farmhouse is fully restored with original furniture and utensils for the bedroom, dairy and kitchen.

  • Farm Animals

Everyone will love viewing the farm animals in the paddocks. With many cute and cuddly new additions during the year, you can often see baby lambs, pig-lets and chicks as they totter around the farm-yard or frolick in the fields.
The draught horses are in retirement and you can see donkeys, sheep and lambs as well as pigs, ducks, bronze turkeys, geese, hens and chicks, including an extensive display of pure breeds (and some rare breeds too).

The nature trail is a tranquil walk which meanders by Ballinanty Brook through beautiful unspoilt countryside and a wild-life nature reserve.
