The small stone humpback bridge is a common place for tourists to stop and view the County Wicklow scenery.[citation needed] 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.[4][5][6]
Annamoe and the surrounding countryside is a breeding stronghold of the great spotted woodpecker, Ireland's newest species.[7]
Castle Kevin, close to Annamoe, of which a few ruins survive, was a medieval fort which formed an important part of Dublin city's defences against raids by the O'Toole clan. The constable was an important Crown official.[8]
