Tralee - Blennerville Windmill and Craft Center (Steam Railway)

A narrow-guage railroad, which operated between 1891 and 1953 between Tralee and Dingle, has since 1993 run hourly from April to September from Tralee to the Blennerville windmill, 2mi/3km away. The restored windmill, which can also be reached by car on the road to Dingle (R559), was built at the end of the 18th C. and was in operation until the end of the 19th C. It was restored in the 1980s and the visitor can now see how the huge millstones ground wheat into flour.

A multimedia show relates the history of the windmill and its restoration. An exhibition is also devoted to the mass emigration in the last century. In the 18th and 19th centuries Biennerville Quay was an important port for Irish emigrants.
