Blarney Castle

I went to Blarney in october, for the second time and it was very enjoyable.
It is around 7km from north cork city, once in Blarney itself there is a little village with a pub, a few local shops and a hotel/b&b.

Blarney Castle is on a hill to the side of Blarney.
There are many walks to go on whilst on your way to the castle itself, past a druidic table, a witches table, a house and some crooked steps.
Once in the castle there are many things to look around like the living room, toilets, bedrooms. At the top the famous Blarney Stone is on the wall, if you would like to kiss it there is a small fee but i cant remember the number once i find out i will edit this review.

If in Ireland this is one of the must see places.

Blarney Castle was built nearly six hundred years ago by one of Ireland’s greatest chieftains, Cormac MacCarthy, and has been attracting attention beyond Munster ever since. Not all of that has been welcome, as Good Queen Bess and Oliver Cromwell could testify. But over the last few hundred years, millions have flocked to Blarney, making it a world landmark and one of Ireland’s greatest treasures.

Now that might have something to do with the Blarney Stone, the legendary Stone of Eloquence, found at the top of our Tower. Kiss it and you’ll never again be lost for words. But don’t take our word for it – everyone from Sir Walter Scott to a host of American presidents, world leaders, and international entertainers has been eager to take advantage.

If people come for the Stone, many stay for the mystical and beautiful Rock Close and gardens. Time has its own rules here. So settle down and spend some of that time with us.
