We enjoyed the grounds of the Blarney Castle. Strolled the nature walks through the gardens. Walked about 3 miles (5 kilometers ) just wandering about. We didn't even see half of the property and were there for about 2 hours. We did not have the opportunity to go into the castle, because there was a long wait (30 minutes) I didn't want to kiss the Blarney Stone anyway!

Magione all'interno del Blarney Castle, veramente molto bella, è ancora abitata quindi le zone visitabili sono poche e la visita compre de anche i giardini. La visita costa 10€ da sommare ai 23€ per entrare nel castello di Blarney

We were wandering around the gardens of Blarney Castle and happened upon the house. Unfortunately, they had just closed tours, but we got to wander around and see the beautiful gardens and read about the house. Be sure to get there before 1400/2 PM so you can take the tour.
