This heritage site features meticulously recreated thatched cottages, complete with period antiques, soundscapes, and figurines that illustrate the customs and daily struggles of the era. Beyond the history of its people, the village is a sanctuary for the Kerry Bog Pony, a rare native breed saved from the brink of extinction.

Sculpted by Alan Ryan Hall, the statue depicts Chaplin as the Tramp, a character from his most famous movies. It overlooks Ballinskelligs Bay and is located just south of Sea Synergy along the waterfront, where Chaplin spent many hours fishing on Lough Currane. The statue's unveiling was a heartfelt gesture by the local community to honor Chaplin's humble presence and the lasting impact he had on the town.
