Blennerville is a small village located about 2 kilometers west of Tralee, nestled along the Tralee Ship Canal. It is best known for its iconic 18th-century windmill, which dominates the skyline. The village has a rich history as a major departure point for Irish emigrants during the Great Famine, with many sailing from its quay to North America. Today, Blennerville is a quiet, picturesque area with a strong sense of heritage. Visitors can stroll along the canal, admire the restored windmill, and explore the local craft shops. The village offers a peaceful escape from Tralee's bustle, with beautiful views of the surrounding countryside and the Slieve Mish Mountains.
