Sightseeing
Avondale is set in a magnificent forest park of over 500 acres with tree trails and walks ranging in duration from one to five hours. Other facilities include a licensed cafe, book shop, picnic areas, children's play area and three orienteering courses. Avondale was home to the late Charles Stuart Parnell who was one of the most powerful figures in the British politics in the 1880s when he helped overthrow two British governments. Historian A.J.P. Taylor says, "More than any other man he gave Ireland the sense of being an independent nation." The American Room is dedicated to Admiral Charles Stewart - Parnell's American grandfather who manned the USS Constitution during the 1812 war. The Georgian House designed by James Wyatt and built in 1777 many original features and furniture.
