Avondale House and Forest Park, last week (27th July)

 
This was a spontaneous visit as we happened to be in the area, and hadn't been to Avondale before. There's also the Charles Stewart Parnell Museum (as he was born in Avondale, in 1846), but we just grabbed some maps and picked the Exotic Tree Trail, which was marked with red dots.

 



 
This is Avondale House..

 

 
And here's where the trail started..

 

 

 



 



 

 

 

 



 
Above, on the left, you can just about see the Stone Cairn, in the other end of the field.. On the right, I zoomed in to that spot, and we were heading that way as well.

 

 

 



 



 


Here I was on the phone.
