Blennerville Windmill Visitor Centre is located on the shores of Tralee Bay and is a dominant landmark where the town of Tralee meets the Dingle Peninsula. It is also linked from Tralee town by a canal walk which extends to Tralee Bay, offering beautiful views of the Sliabh Mish Mountains and the bay itself. Suitable for all ages, Blennerville Windmill is the largest working windmill in Ireland and the only windmill along Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way. It was authentically restored to full working order in the 1980s. Visitors can get up close and appreciate the scale and complexity of the windmill machinery and climb to the top to see how flour is made. Blennerville was the main post of emigration from County Kerry during The Great Famine (1845 - 1848) and was, during those years, the home port of the famous emigrant barque “Jeanie Johnson”.
