The Story of Clonwilliam

Clonwilliam House is the private home of Richard and Miriam Clune and their four boys. Set dramatically atop the wooded hills that surround the Vale of Avoca near Woodenbridge in County Wicklow, Ireland, Clonwilliam has been home to Richard’s family since the 1650’s.

Although there has been a house peering out from this majestic spot for over 350 years, the bones of the current house date from the 19th century, since which time it has undergone a number of transformations. The result is an exquisite blend of old and new, combining 21st century luxury with the loveliness of a Georgian backdrop.

The setting of Clonwilliam is a particularly attractive one, with its mature grounds hosting an abundance of wildlife and the picturesque Goldmines river running through it. It is undoubtedly true that the words of the poet Thomas Moore, written while sojourning in Avoca, resonate for all those who visit this valley:

There is not in this wide world a valley so sweet
As that vale in whose bosom the bright waters meet.

Clonwilliam began hosting a limited number of private celebrations in 2013. Having captured the hearts of family for generations, Clonwilliam quickly won the hearts and fired the imagination of people from all over the world. Today, it remains completely private, utterly hidden away from the world, known only to our new extended family of guests, and as special as it has always been.

Directions

From Dublin, make your way to the M50. Continue along the M50, southbound, until it becomes the M11.

Continue southbound along the M11 towards Arklow. Take Exit 20 off the motorway, signposted “Arklow (North)”.

At the first roundabout, take the exit signposted “Arklow”. After about 1km, take the turn to the right off the main road, signposted clearly “Woodenbridge/Avoca/Beech Road”.

Continue for about 6km until Avoca village. Immediately upon entering Avoca village, take the turn to the left opposite Fitzgerald’s Pub (on your right). Continue straight, over the bridge, until the T-junction. At the T-junction, take the left, signposted “Woodenbridge”.

Continue straight for about 2km to Woodenbridge. Upon entering Woodenbridge, veer left over the bridge (with the Woodenbridge Hotel on your right). Take the first turn to the right after the bridge, in front of the garage and shop. After about 50 metres, you will come to a fork in the road.

Take the left on the V, signposted “Thomastown”. Clonwilliam House is 1.5km along this road on the right-hand-side, behind large granite entrance gates.

Safe driving.
