There is a unique peace to be found in the Wicklow woodlands, and nowhere captures it quite like Beyond the Trees Avondale in Rathdrum. For those looking to enjoy a refreshing day out without worrying about steep climbs or uneven terrain, this world-class destination has become a firm favourite for over-55s and active retirement groups across Ireland.The crown jewel of the experience is the Treetop Walk spanning 1.4km. This beautifully crafted timber boardwalk rises gently into the canopy of Avondale Forest Park. Because it relies entirely on a gradual incline rather than steps, it is completely accessible for wheelchairs, walkers, and anyone who prefers a leisurely pace.

It offers a rare opportunity to walk among the birds and look out over the magnificent Avonmore River valley.

After working up an appetite, visitors can relax at the Seed café, which serves up a delicious array of hot lunches, home-baked goods, and premium coffee, all highlighting the best of local Wicklow produce. With ample parking, excellent facilities and a rich history, Avondale isn’t just a walk in the woods – it’s a premier day out where memories are made.
