This is my favorite castle to visit in Ireland!!! The castle is well preserved with numerous arrow slits and murder holes to examine. The climb up can be a bit claustrophobic because ascending the tower stairs is narrow with a low ceiling and tiny spiral stairs. Get here early or you'll be stuck inside with a long line. Kissing the Blarney Stone will test your fear of heights, but even the elderly were able to do it. Once your back down the grounds, be sure to explore the poison garden, walking trail, and the magnificent gardens. You can easily spend 2 hours after the castle.
