Statue of Charlie Chaplin, Bronze statue in Waterville, Ireland.
The life-sized bronze statue created by Alan Ryan Hall depicts Charlie Chaplin as his famous character, the Tramp, overlooking Ballinskelligs Bay.
Following his first visit to Waterville in 1959, recommended by Walt Disney, Charlie Chaplin and his family returned annually to stay at the Butler Arms Hotel.
The statue installation in 1998 represents the strong connection between the actor and the local community, leading to an annual comedy film festival each August.
Located at coordinates 51.826389, -10.171944 along the waterfront, the statue stands as a primary stop on the Waterville Heritage Trail and Ring of Kerry route.
The project received direct funding from Josephine Chaplin, who managed her father's interests from Paris and reacquired rights to many of his films in 2002.
