Highlights
Overview of your Cork tour: Did you know that the Blarney Castle originally dates from before the 12th Century? It has beautiful stone fortifications, accessible rooms and battlements, and it's surrounded with gorgeous extensive gardens which in and of themselves present various attractions such as several natural rock formations. At the top of the castle lies the Stone of Eloquence - better known as the Blarney Stone. Here, you'll be able to hang upside down over a sheer drop to kiss the stone (which is said to give you the gift of eloquence). There are paths touring the grounds that lead to the Blarney House, which overlooks a nearby lake. Enjoy an idyllic day in the beautiful Blarney village and venture exploring the Blarney Castle and its grounds, before returning to Cork City for further exploration of our culture!

About Cork
Cork is Ireland's second city, a river town of steep lanes, a covered market, church bells and a strong food reputation.
Cork centres on an island in the River Lee, with channels of water, bridges and a mix of Georgian streets and Victorian shopfronts. The English Market, a covered food hall that dates to 1788, sells fish, cheese, spiced beef and baked goods. St Anne's Shandon has a tower topped by a golden salmon, and visitors can ring its bells. St Fin Barre's Cathedral rises in the French Gothic style.
