Derrynane House National Historic Park

Frommer's Review

On a comfortable estate along the Ring of Kerry coast between Waterville and Caherdaniel, this manor house was once the seat of the O'Connells and is where Ireland's Great Liberator, Daniel O'Connell, lived for most of his life. The Irish government maintains the house as a museum, filled with documents, illustrations, and memorabilia related to O'Connell's life. Some pieces are more interesting than others -- take, for example, the chariot in which he traveled triumphantly through Dublin after his release from prison in 1844.
