Annamoe [2] [3] is a village located on the Avonmore river in County Wicklow, Ireland about 32km (20miles) south of Dublin. It is on the R755 road (at the junction with the R763) 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 4acres lake where one can fly or bait fish. A separate fishing pond for children allows them to catch brown and rainbow trout.[4] [5] [6]

Annamoe and the surrounding countryside is a breeding stronghold of the great spotted woodpecker, Ireland's newest species.[7]
