Annamoe


Annamoe is a village located on the Avonmore river in County Wicklow, Ireland about south of Dublin. It is on the R755 road between Roundwood and Laragh on the road to Glendalough.
The small stone humpback bridge is a common place for tourists to stop and view the County Wicklow scenery. There is a trout fishery in the village with a lake where one can fly or bait fish. A separate fishing pond for children allows them to catch brown and rainbow trout.
Annamoe is a breeding stronghold of the great spotted woodpecker, Ireland's newest species.

Annamoe is home to a number of people associated with film, music, and writing including film director John Boorman, U2 rock group manager Paul McGuinness, actor Daniel Day-Lewis, and musician Paddy Moloney of The Chieftains. Actor, writer, and chef Paolo Tullio and the writer John Millington Synge also lived there, as did former Irish president Erskine Childers, who is buried at Derrylossery Church.
