SEEING THE SIGHTS
Avondale House & Forest Park
In a fertile valley
between Glendalough and the Vale of Avoca, this is the former
home of Charles Stewart Parnell (1846-91), one of Ireland's great
political leaders. Built in 1779, the house is now a museum dedi-
cated to his memory. Set in the surrounding 209-hectare (523-acre)
estate and boasting signposted nature trails alongside the Avondale
River, Avondale Forest Park is considered the cradle of modern Irish
forestry. A new exhibition area commemorates the American side of
the Parnell family, most notably Admiral Charles Stewart of the
U.S.S.
Constitution.
The coffee shop serves teas and light lunches,
featuring homemade breads and pastries. There's also a children's
playground.
