Blarney Stone

#europetrip Parking available on site for cheaper than a garage/lot. I rushed to the stone and was fortunate there were only a few people in line. The stone itself was a must, but I was way more impressed by the castle and the grounds. I especially enjoyed walking through the gardens and wooded areas. I could have spent much more time here, I probably spent 2 hours walking around. Some of the trails are paved and wide. Others are narrow dirt paths. This was my favorite tourist attraction while visiting Ireland. I wouldn’t buy tickets in advance, the lines are all the same to get in so it won’t save time.
