Blennerville, 3.4km southwest of Tralee's center on the N86 to Dingle, used to be the city's chief port, though the harbor has long since silted up. A relic of that time, Blennerville Windmill & Visitor Center (blennerville-windmill.ie; guided tour adult/child €8/7; self-guided tour €6/5) dates from around 1800.
Now restored, it’s the largest working windmill in Ireland. Its visitor center houses exhibitions on flour milling, as well as on the thousands of emigrants who boarded "coffin ships" from what was then Kerry's largest embarkation point. Between 1889 and 1891, the building was used for storage during the construction of the Tralee & Dingle Light Railway and there’s a charming model of the narrow-gauge railway on display.
