About this tour
Blarney Castle was built more than 500 years ago by the chieftain Cormac MacCarthy, and has drawn visitors from around the world ever since.
At the top of the tower sits the Blarney Stone, said to give the gift of eloquence to all who kiss it. The castle is surrounded by gardens and parkland worth an unhurried afternoon.
