About

Located in the heart of the picturesque village of Foxford, the Foxford Woollen Mill has been weaving stories into threads since 1892. Visitors can explore the historic mill’s original looms, learn about the artisanal techniques that have survived for over a century, and shop for a curated range of lambswool, cashmere and Merino throws, blankets, scarves and gifts—all crafted on‑site using locally sourced materials. The mill’s café, tucked a few steps from the first looms, offers a culinary escape with seasonal Irish produce, freshly baked breads, pastries, and a range of hot and cold dishes that highlight the freshest local flavors. Whether you’re seeking a family outing, a cultural tour, or a leisurely afternoon over a latte, Foxford invites you to experience the warmth of heritage and hospitality in a setting that feels like a quiet sanctuary.
