About This Attraction
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.

Our tour guide, Alan, was so passionate and knowledgeable that it made the experience that much better. We had a great time! After learning the history and importance of the patterns and different wool we bought blankets and scarves to have our own bit of Avoca.
Very informative and fascinating tour! I was really looking forward to it and was not disappointed. Loved the history of this mill and explanation of the weaving process. I have a much greater appreciation of the quality product than I ever would have.
