Surrounded by rugged shores and gently rolling mountains, the charming village of Caherdaniel, makes an excellent spot for walking with the 7th-century Caher stone fort nearby and easy access to the long-distance walking trail, The Kerry Way. Angling, swimming and diving are also popular as are kayaking, canoeing and horse-riding. Near the village is Derrynane House and National Park, once home to Catholic Emancipator Daniel O’Connell. The house has been restored in period fashion and features a museum on the campaigner’s life while the beautiful gardens are excellent for a leisurely stroll.
