What Happened Today?
DAY 9: WATERVILLE TO CATHERDANIEL
HIKING INSTRUCTIONS (Part 1)
Today you are doing a wonderfully scenic route along the coast, well-marked with good stiles. It is a short walk and if you have time, you should take a detour at Derryname to visit Derryname House and gardens. It is the home of Daniel O’Connell, called “The Liberator” and father of Catholic emancipation during the 19th century.
There is also a fascination Ogham stone, and superb beach here. There are tea rooms and admission to the House is 4.5 euros. There is an excellent beach walk from the House out to Abbey Island where Daniel’s wife Mary is buried.
It is possible to rejoin the Kerry Way from Derrynane House at GR538593.
