Review:
Dating back to an original stone structure which was built in 1210, the Blarney Castle which visitors see today is what was rebuilt on the same site in 1446 after the original building was destroyed. The castle has a rich history of being a medieval stronghold, being besieged during the Irish Confederate Wars, and even getting captured during the Williamite War in Ireland in the 1690s. It’s been a popular tourist attraction for several years now, with its most famous aspect being the Stone of Eloquence, or the Blarney Stone as it is often called. Tourists can not only see the stone, which has many legends of its own, but also the remnants of the castle ruins and the extensive garden which surrounds it.
