Visit Ireland in one of the most adorable periods of the year—the lambing season. With vast pasturages and favorable climate conditions, ​Ireland boasts one of Europe's largest number of sheep flocks that is above four million. Tourists who were lucky to travel the country at this time say that the animals can be spotted practically on every field in Ireland. This creates the overall atmosphere of cuteness and friendliness.

One of the best ways to experience the Irish lambing season is by going on a sheep tour in spring. Farm tours depart from Dublin and can take tourists to the Cooley Peninsula, County Louth, and Carrickmacross in County Monaghan, as well as other countryside areas.
