Ecotourism
Sustainability is at the centre of everything we do at Rock Farm. As a working organic farm and ecotourism destination, we are committed to protecting the environment, supporting biodiversity and creating meaningful experiences that connect people with nature.

Visitors can experience life on an organic farm while enjoying unique accommodation, outdoor adventures and wellness experiences in a beautiful natural setting. Rock Farm is proud to support sustainable tourism initiatives and work alongside organisations that promote responsible travel, environmental stewardship and rural tourism in Ireland.
Visitors can enjoy everything from paddleboarding, kayaking and walking trails to riverside saunas, natural swimming and farm experiences. Rooted in sustainability and a deep connection to the land, Rock Farm provides opportunities to relax, unwind and discover the countryside while creating memorable experiences with family, friends and colleagues.
The Farm
At the heart of Rock Farm Slane is a working organic farm where nature, food and sustainability come together. Set across 150 acres on the Slane Castle Estate, the farm is home to pasture, woodland, wildlife habitats and a diverse range of animals. Organic farming practices help protect biodiversity, improve soil health and support a thriving natural environment. Visitors can explore the farm through guided tours, walking trails and seasonal experiences, gaining an insight into sustainable food production and life on the land. From eco-building projects and regenerative farming methods to fresh produce and outdoor adventures, the farm remains the foundation of everything we do at Rock Farm.
“We had a great overnight stay in one of the Oak Yurts. Inside was extremely cozy and warm even before lighting the stove, the facilities are great! Fully kitted out kitchen and plenty of toilets. We all agreed that the beds were some of the most comfortable beds we have ever slept in. Thank you for a great stay x”
“This glamping was pure magic. On our 10 day trip this night was by far our favorite! The hosts were so extremely accommodating and very responsive. I would absolutely love to return in the future.”
“My partner, six month-old daughter, and I stayed in Hazel Yurt for two nights as part of a wedding party. The yurt felt very private and was in a beautiful spot. It was lovely to hear the wind, birds, rain etc from outside while being cosy inside.”
