We just traveled here as part of our EF tour. We had a cold, rainy day in April and we waited in long lines up a very narrow staircase. The castle itself is really good & in great shape. Reminded me of Game of Thrones. The line to kiss the stone moved pretty quickly, expect for those who were afraid... More

This was on my list to do and I wasn't disappointed. The steps were narrow but they had hand rails all the way. I don't like heights much but felt very safe. The line moves pretty quick and you get to see and wonder what some of the rooms are. Beautiful grounds from the top.

After an easy drive from Waterford to Cork, we arrived at Blarney castle in the afternoon, walking though the grounds were beautiful. You must make the effort to climb to the top of the castle and kiss the Blarney Stone, it is said to gift you with the gift of the gab!! It is a little effort to lean back... More

This is rather an odd attraction. It is made for healthy, limber and fun loving people. You climb up stairs and sit backwards to the stone. A person helps you to bend over without falling.

During our Ireland road trip, we had to stop in and see Blarney Castle and of course, we had to kiss the Blarney Stone!! What an awesome experience! You could tell that billions of people had kissed that stone in the same place over the years but we didn't care. You have to lay on your back and then slide... More

Right in the middle of Blarney town with parking right beside the entrance it is a must see for any one interested in Irish history. The castle itself is remarkably well preserved with a nicely laid out walk and amazing views withinn. Although the entry is a bit expensive you could easily spend a few hours walking through the castle... More

Being our first trip to Ireland, we knew that "kissing the Blarney Stone" was one thing we had to do...and kiss it we did!! No visitor to Ireland should miss this !!
