Accommodation_Wicklow
The
magnificent 209-hectare estate of AVONDALE HOUSE was the family home of
Charles Stewart Parnell, a leading figure in Irish history. The library
is particularly stunning. Surrounded by a 200-hectare park, Avondale
House is a marvellous site to discover. It is in the VALE OF AVOCA that
the river Avoca forms from the Meeting of the Waters of Rivers Avonbeg
and Avonmore. In the town of Avoca, you will be able to admire Avoca
Handweavers’ tweeds, throws and |
fabrics. ARKLOW is a perfect base to
visit Southern Wicklow, a busy commercial town once best known as a
shipbuilding centre.
Getting around Southern Wicklow Bus Eireann’s service from Dublin to
Wexford and Rosslare Harbour stops at Rathdrum (Avondale House is
located about 2km South of Rathdrum). Service 133 from Dublin serves
Avoca. Trains between Dublin and Rosslare also stop at Rathdrum. |
