Review:
Blarney Castle is a lovely historic Medieval-era stronghold in Blarney, located near the city of Cork and the River Martin. The historic fortifications, which date back as far as 1446, are best known as the home of the famed Blarney Stone, which is said to endow those who kiss it with the gift of eloquence and flattery. Because of this legend, the world "blarney" itself has become synonymous with wit, flattery, and charm. Visitors can also tour areas of the historic castle, which was constructed in its present form by Cormac Laidir MacCarthy, Lord of Muscry. The castle's beautiful surrounding grounds are home to extensive landscaped garden and a number of natural rock formations, including the Witch's Cave, Wishing Steps, and Druid's Circle.
