Derrynane House is a lovely little museum near Caherdaniel. Even though it is very small, all the exhibits are very lovingly arranged and the staff on site are extremely dedicated and willing to provide information.
If you want, you can spend quite some time there and listen to the stories about Daniel O'Connell and his family. The adjoining café offers a few snacks and the nearby beach is ideal for wonderful walks. Im park there is a little fairy wood.
Particularly noteworthy on the beach is a house shaped like a ship.
We didn't visit the house itself, but a very informative tour down to the beach started from here. Our tour guide explained various edible plants that you can find and eat on the beach. He also had samples with him or picked them directly.
Beautiful gardens!! I would love to see it in the summer. The documentary was very very interesting. The tour was short but very interesting. The staff is friendly & helpful.
A very interesting experience, you can learn a lot about the life and family of The Liberator
We spent a lot of time reading about his history and the struggles of his beautiful island
The house is really well kept with a lot of original furnitures and paintings
This museum is part of the Ireland Heritage and it can be visited for free with the OPW card
