Review of The Blarney Stone

The walk up to the blarney stone is amazing. It is a bit scary as it's up a few winding stone staircases that are very narrow and a bit steep. We had about a 30 minute wait to kiss the stone but the walk through the castle is amazing and it didn't feel that long. Kissing the stone itself you hang over a gap and a person helps to make sure you don't fall. It was exhilarating. I thought this place would be kitschy and it was the furthest thing from it. The grounds are spectacularly beautiful and I wanted to explore all day!
