The Avoca Mill is set in the charming village of Avoca Co. Wicklow, known as ‘Garden of Ireland’. It's just 90 minutes from Dublin city centre!
Within the picturesque, whitewashed walls of Avoca village lies the hub and heart of the Avoca weaving industry. On a guided tour of The Mill, visitors get a real sense of the skill and expertise of the in-house weaving team. These dedicated local craftspeople have been working with Avoca for many years. For some, the weaving trade has been passed down through the generations of their family.
The Mill Tour is an interactive experience, where the weavers chat with visitors while they work and explain the full weaving process, from raw wool to the finished product. After a visit to The Mill, visitors can spend time browsing the extensive, world-famous collection of colourful throws and woollen mill products in the onsite retail store, or relax and enjoy freshly baked selection of cakes and delicious homemade dishes from the cafe.
