Mount Allen Farm offers visitors a unique opportunity to gain access to a part of the country that has been virtually undisturbed on the shores of Lough Allen. They offer a number of walks, with the option of focusing on local ecology, biodiversity, local history or farm management/maintenance itself, all personally guided and explained. They also offer a number of workshops including Moth Trapping, Conducting Butterfly Transect, Hedge Coppicing, Composting, and many more. The farm has a high heritage value because of its variety of habitats which include Lowland Raised-bog; semi-improved grassland; wildflower meadow; lake shore; woodland; river.

Lakeview Farm has been farmed to organic standards since 1996 and strives to be as sustainable and self sufficient as possible with the environment and wildlife given important consideration. 60 hectares are in grassland and this supports a suckler herd which is predominantly Aberdeen Angus. There are also farmyard animals including pigs, horses and many types of poultry. 20 hectares of the farm are in commercial forestry, predominantly broad leaf, and there are paths throughout which are a great amenity with a hide by the lake edge for watching wildlife. Field boundaries are predominantly stone walls; traditional cleft larch fencing is also used in key locations.
Organic beef & lamb. Self catering accommodation. Woofing and voluntary opportunities.
