The history behind the Blarney Castle is all on Google. So,will not repeat all the lore. The castle itself is pretty much in ruins and the climb to kiss the Blarney Stone is not for Seniors!!! The grounds are beautiful and worth the time, even if the castle is not. There is also Blarney House, built in 1870. From the outside and a brief glimpse inside, this would be worth a visit. We just didn't have time and make it back to our bus.
Blarney Woolen Mills are in the town of Blarney. The retail store is huge and certainly can entice one to stimulate the economy big time. They have way, way more than must woolens. Lydia and Joyce tried their best to bring Ireland out of their recession.
