Narrative:
On the downwind leg for runway 22 in avp; the first officer (first officer) reported the field in sight and ATC cleared us for the visual approach. ATC advised us of the ridgeline that parallels the downwind leg. I selected 2800 ft and we began a gradual descent from 4000 ft while maintaining visual separation from the terrain and towers. We delayed our base turn to align the aircraft with a valley in the ridge outside of the FAF. On base; at approximately 3100 ft; we received an aural terrain warning. I executed an escape maneuver and climbed to 3700 ft. The warning subsided and we continued the approach hand flown to a normal landing.
