An Londubh extends a Cead Mile Failte to all its visitors to Co. Wicklow. This centrally situated accommodation in the heart of the "Garden of Ireland" allows easy access to all the tourist highlights within the county.

The historian will relish the old churches, The Round Tower, St. Kevin's bed, and beautiful walks around lakes and mountains with an interpretive centre on site to enlighten the mystery.

The Vale of Avoca, made famous in song by Thomas Moore is only 5 miles away. Here you have the heritage of 1000 years of Gold & Copper mining and the location of "Ballykissangel" a television series of worldwide fame.

Hill walking is popular in the Wicklow Hills and walkers throng to Glendalough, Glenmalure, Rathdrum and "The Wicklow Way" to traverse the rugged terrain of the Wicklow Mountains on Dublin's doorstep. .

Avondale forest park extends from our back garden. Your leisurely walk will bring you through open parkland, Giant Oaks and Redwoods, exotic trees from every continent, then, along the Avonmore River and on to the Home of C.S. Parnell. Avondale is 'Heaven on Earth.' .

Click to enlarge Arklow, Wicklow, Bray and Dublin the capital, are all easily accessible from here and a train from Rathdrum will bring you to the heart of the city in one hour and back again in the evening with a choice of times. .

County Wicklow is dotted with golf courses inviting participation. Fishing is also popular and readily available and "walking" both free and organized is both popular and varied throughout the county. .




"An Londubh" meaning Blackbird, originated from the song which depicted Parnell as the "Blackbird of Sweet Avondale." The bungalow with en-suite facilities is situated 300 metres from Avondale gates. The En-suite Rooms are comfortable with a Double and a Single Bed in each. They are oil-fired centrally heated and serviced by Triton 90 showers.
