At Blarney Castle you'll find the famous Blarney Stone set into the battlements. You can see where legend has it that kissing the stone grants the gift of the gab — the ability to speak eloquently and persuasively. As you explore the castle, you'll learn about the rich folklore and history that surrounds the site and adds to its allure.
Around the castle you can walk through the grounds and visit the Poison Garden, where deadly plants such as nightshade and wolfsbane are on display. You will also come across the Rock Close, a landscape of mystical druidic formations, a wishing step and fairy glades that give the place a magical atmosphere. Along the way you may find the stories and settings as intriguing as the sights themselves.
