The Avonmore Way is an important and strategic route in Wicklow as it provides a pedestrian link with train and bus services in Rathdrum to Laragh. The development of the trail has been undertaken by Wicklow Uplands Council in partnership with Coillte, NPWS, County Wicklow Partnership, private landowner Lucy Morgan, Rathdrum Parish and St Lawrence O'Toole Diocesan Trust, the Parish Committee for Clara Vale Church, Laragh Development Association and Rathdrum Tidy Towns Association.
