Lonely Planet review for Blarney Castle

Dating from 1446, Blarney Castle is a tower house built on solid limestone in wonderful grounds that are ideal for a picnic. Someone will soon talk you into kissing the Blarney Stone, a custom invented fairly recently, though Blarney's association with the gift of the gab goes back a long time.

    An Ireland Must

    lifeintechnicolorii recommends this,

    If you are visiting Ireland for the first time, visiting Blarney is a must. The grounds are beautiful and bending backwards to kiss the (germ-filled) Blarney Stone is quite an experience. The journey to the top of castle, where the stone is located, is a tight at times, but well worth it for the views.
