The beautiful property with a wonderful park is located in the middle of the Derrynane National Historic Park, which you should take a little time to explore.
The wide view of the sea perhaps explains the intellectual foresight of former resident Daniel O'Connel with his attitudes towards various human rights, which were very remarkable at the time.
Combined with the hiking trails and beaches, you can easily spend a whole day here.
