About Us
The farm and its location
Cherry Tree Farm has been farmed by the Ryan family for many generations and is located within the Slieve Felim Way, (44km trail, including the highest mountain in the Shannon Region 2,279ft). We farm a French breed of cattle called Salers who enjoy our alpine pastures.
Our farmlands are of particular Celtic and spiritual interest in that we have
three ring or fairy forts (An Rath No An Lios) which date back to early Christian times. One fort is of particular Celtic significance as it is positioned high above the River Shannon and in line with the site of the High King Brian Boru's birthplace.
Our self-catering accommodation consists of a holiday mobile home located on its own 1/4 acre site with bbq and fairy fort picnic site.
Fresh eggs available every morning from our hens and our pure mountain spring water on tap. Our farm walks take in the spectacular panoramic scenery, including Keeper Hill viewing point. Ideal location for walkers and cyclists.
