Avondale Forest is a wooded estate in County Wicklow, Ireland, on the west bank of the River Avonmore.
The park is rich in wildlife and notable features include the exotic tree trail and a well-developed arboretum.
Avondale is reflective of the wider practices and history of Irish forests.
The forest park lies mainly on the west bank of the Avonmore River covering 214 hectares of land.
A new cafe restaurant was built along with a visitor centre on 'the great ride' (a long stretch of green space in the middle of Avondale along which horses were ridden in times past), and tree canopy walkways were also developed.
