The Blarney Stone is situated at the top of the Blarney Castle, which I have already reviewed in detail. To recap, the Castle is situated in beautiful gardens, it was very crowded to get up to the actual Stone. It took us an hour of queuing to reach the Stone, up some extremely narrow and steep steps. The kissing process is over quickly. You lie on the ground, on your back, there is guide who supports you, lean back and grip the handle bars and kiss the stone. There is metal grid ensuring that you cannot slip and fall down. The whole process takes less than a minute. I suppose it is something that "needs" to be done when in Ireland but I personally found the whole experience overrated. But having said that, the Castle Gardens are truly beautiful and I would have loved to spend more time exploring them.
