Nestled a short distance from Dublin, Avoca is a quaint riverside hamlet known for its historic Avoca Handweavers, who have been crafting textiles in a riverside mill since 1723. The village’s picturesque setting, with rows of cottages and a hilly green backdrop, has made it a favored location for filming, including the BBC soap Ballykissangel. Visitors can explore the charming streets, visit the working mill, and enjoy the serene beauty of the surrounding landscape.
