Urban Exploration | Waterville Beach Hotel | Ireland
In den frühen 1990er Jahren geschlossen, wurden 2004 Pläne bekannt, den Hotelkomplex abzureissen und ein neues Hotel zu errichten. Einige Jahre später wurde diese Absicht erneuert doch bisher ist nichts dergleichen passiert. Das Gelände steht derzeit inklusive Hotel und etwas abseits davon liegender Einfamilienhausruine zum Verkauf.
Closed in the early 1990s, plans went underway to tear down and built a new hotel on the site in 2004. A few years later they started another try but nothing happened yet. The site is on sale right now including the hotel and the ruin of an old farmhouse located at some distance.

Waterville Bay and Beach
We stopped in the town of Waterville which is right on the bay to stop and take pictures of a statue of Charlie Chaplin. I was far more interested in the beautiful beach!

What to see and do in Waterville, Ireland
I hate to say, Not very much, but there isn't; at least not off-season. Waterville is a picturesque little village overlooking stunning Ballinskelligs Bay, known for the best Salmon & Sea Trout Angling in Europe and two championship golf courses, but most tourists come during the summer to enjoy the beach and relax.
Waterville has friendly Bars, Cafés, Restaurants, a lovely promenade along the sea, and much accommodation which ranges from B&Bs to deluxe Butler Arms Hotel, chosen for their home away from home by celebrities. Steve and I had intended to eat at Dooley's across the street from Klondyke House B&B but since it was closed, took hostess Cirean's recommendation and popped into An Corcan for a sandwich and their award winning soda bread.
And what would a trip to Waterville be without a stop to pose with Charlie Chaplin, arguably, Waterville's most famous guest?

This large village is famous for golf, its beach and its association with Charlie Chaplin. You’ll also notice the monument to Charlie Chaplin which of course is worth taking a photograph with.

The Kerry Way, Ireland: Caherdaniel to Waterville
On yet another sunny day (Ireland was displaying it's best weather), Nancy Moran drove us from Moran's Seaside Farmhouse in Bunavalla, up the road to where The Kerry Way continues. Today's section was a high and easy coastal route with glorious coast views out towards the Skellig Islands and Ballinskelligs Bay.
There were also many interesting markers along the way; an old horse path; a deserted cottage where a piper heard fairy music; and a final stretch along the road into busy Waterville.
Klondyke House B&B (owned by Cirean Morris) is located along the main road in Waterville and was our accommodation tonight. Suitcases had already been delivered and Klondyke House was yet another lovely B&B with hospitable owner who gave eating recommendations and what to see in Waterville.
