Butler Arms Hotel

Waterville

by evaanna

We got off here only to see the statue of Charlie Chaplin, who would visit the place regularly with his family, staying at the Butler Arms Hotel. Of course everybody wanted to have their picture taken with the famous actor so it lasted a long time before I could take this one. It's a life-size statue so they patted him on the back or embraced him but he didn't seem to mind.
Waterville is an interesting place, being situated on a narrow isthmus with Lough Currane on the east side of the town and Ballingskelligs Bay on its west side, with the Currane River connecting them. So you have everything you may wish for here: the sea, the lake and the mountains. It is also the birthplace of my wonderful Irish friend Katherine (Ekaterinburg). I am surprised that there is no plaque on the house where she was born, or is there?
