Annamoe (Irish: Áth na mBó, meaning "Ford of the Cows") is a hamlet located on the Avonmore river in County Wicklow, Ireland about 32 km (20 mi) from 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 popular place for tourists to stop and view the County Wicklow scenery. There is a trout fishery in the village with a 4-acre (16,000 m2) lake where one can fly or bait fish. A separate fishing pond for children allows them to catch brown and rainbow trout.
Annamoe is a breeding stonghold of the great spotted woodpecker, Ireland's newest species.
Annamoe is home to a number of notable people associated with film, music, and writing including film director John Boorman,U2 rock group manager Paul McGuinness, actor Daniel Day-Lewis, and musician Paddy Moloney of The Chieftains,. Actor, writer, and chef Paolo Tullio and the writer John Millington Synge also lived there, as did former Irish president Erskine Childers, who is buried at Derrylossery Church.
