Another thing I've meant to do that L&D made happen - we toured the famine museum in the Blennerville windmill. It is small and pretty low key, but interesting. You also get to see the inside of the windmill and some good views from the surrounding deck. Lorraine and I also took a quick run to Fenit to see the Jeannie Johnston replica - unfortunately the sails were not up, and to sail was way too expensive but we enjoyed seeing it! It is the "famine ship" that sailed from Blennerville and has a record of no deaths due to illness or the sea - a remarkable record in that time.
