One of Ireland's major national monuments, Derrynane House was the home of Daniel O Connell, known as "The Liberator". O Connell is regarded as one of the greatest Irish leaders. A visit to Derrynane House will allow the visitor to gain an insight into the historical and cultural background of O Connell's work and achievements in the first half of the 19th century. Viewing of Derrynane House is by guided tour only. The House itself now forms part of a National Historic Park , with a wider context in terms of other historic monuments in the area, the natural landscape of sea, beach and mountains and the flora and fauna of this beautiful part of County Kerry. For visitors, there is a nearby parking area, toilets, picnic benches and a cafe.
