Avondale House, Georgian manor house in County Wicklow, Ireland.

The three-story Avondale House features Georgian architectural elements with detailed plasterwork throughout its rooms and large windows overlooking forest grounds.

Visitors can explore the house through guided tours from 10 AM to 5 PM daily, with access to exhibitions about the Parnell family legacy.

The surrounding 500-hectare forest park includes specimens of giant redwoods from California and Sitka spruce from British Columbia among its diverse tree collection.
