 Verified Great Experience. My wife and I came here in mid August and thoroughly enjoyed it. Beautiful views and in educational signs throughout added to the experience. Definitely suitable for all ages. A tour of Avondale House was also available but we didn't bother with it so can't comment. My one criticism is that we wouldn't have found the place without our SatNav. We did not see a single sign on the roads to direct us. Otherwise a great trip.

 Verified Why I recommend the Avondale treewalk I would do recommend it for family fun. If you like exploring and learning about history well this'll be the place. You can also learn different names of birds and get amazing pictures too. They also have a gift shop and the staff there are really sweet. They have an amazing café with a slushy machine and it's our friendly.
