A family-run destination gift store on the Ring of Kerry road outside Waterville, where decades of Irish knitwear and craft sit alongside a free outdoor Heritage Gallery and photo exhibits on South Kerry's history and wildlife.
An open-air gallery where 150 information panels on locally sourced Valentia Island slate cover South Kerry's archaeology, stone forts and circles, geology, birds, flora and folklore, plus the Skellig Rocks, Kerry's Dark Sky Reserve and the South Kerry Gaeltacht. Admission is free, and there are picnic benches for taking in the view over Waterville and Ballinskelligs Bay.
The store stocks hundreds of Aran sweaters from reputable Irish designers, with patterns whose cable, diamond and honeycomb stitches each carry their own meaning. Sizing runs across men's, women's and children's ranges.
Founded by Noreen and Alf as the Waterville Craft Market, the shop still sources roughly half its stock from Kerry makers and is run by the same family. Two audio-visual screens inside tell the wider story of the area.
Jewellery lines carry the visual language of Ireland, from Claddagh rings and birthstones to Celtic crosses, drawn from brands such as Solvar.
Woven goods from names like Foxford Woollen Mills and McNutt of Donegal sit alongside hats, scarves and knitwear from Irish heritage weavers.
Photo exhibits celebrating the local landscape, including views of the Skelligs, Killarney and Rossbeigh, are displayed through the gallery and store.
