Treetop Walk Beyond the Trees Avondale Coillte, Irland

Treetop Walk Beyond the Trees

Avondale Forest Park, Ireland

Observation Tower

Ireland's first treetop walk opened in summer 2022. The observation tower, which adjoins the 1440m long and over 20m high walkway, offers a panoramic view of the Avondale Forest Park.

The tree tower itself is 38m high and, due to its cylindrical shape that opens upwards, is intended to represent a Guinness glass. Its diameter is 30m at its thickest point. The main structure consists of glued laminated timber combined with steel columns, which are stiffened and stabilized. In the middle of the tower is a 90m long slide, offering a quick way to get to the bottom again.
