First, we visited the windmill only outside. Maybe, if we were inside (we could not manage it in time because of check-out in hostel), the rating would be different. But from outside it is, in my opinion, common windmill with not much good accessbility from Tralee (I have to confess I didn't want to drive on left side of road...) More

We decided to drive 10 minutes out of the way and stop at the Blennerville Windmill. We had our lunch as we walked and looked at the windmill. We did not go in because it did not look like the pictures we saw. It was beat up and run down. They were charging too much to go inside. You can... More

Because it is a restored... More

For some reason I got excited at the thought of visiting this windmill, maybe because I visited the ones in Sussex as a child and had fond memories. You can't miss this windmill - you can see it from miles around - it has a fairly large car park attached and a few interesting little arts and crafts studios attached... More

I just LOVE the windmill. I visited a friend who was building the Irish Famine Ship Jeanie Johnston which was being built NEXT to the Blennerville Windmill. My good luck! The windmill-Big, white and seen from every where, it is a wonder! When it is breezy it's big sails turn in the breeze and is a photographers dream! Try to... More
