The fact that Ireland has a botanic legacy is well known. The fact that Ireland hides a lot of mysteries is remarkable. The fact that each castle has a distinctive baggage is secretly bringing humour to the Celtic woodlands, and Blarney Castle has these ingredients to charm you as a good stew does.  

Hiking lovers who feel merged enough with nature will delight in Blarney. It is located 5 miles away from Cork. You can get there in 90 minutes with ease.

The history of Blarney gives you an opportunity to understand how passionately history was embraced throughout the centuries.

Originally called Bhlarna in Gaelic, it suggests meanings like “battle”, “fine plain”, and “little field”, to everyone’s surprise. Since the 13th century, Blarney Castle, built by the McCarthy Dynasty, and its surroundings have had an appeal due to the “Stone of Eloquence”. A witch was reporting the magic of the Stone. Paradoxically, the process is “as simple as” going to the top of the castle, 100 feet high, leaning backwards, helped by the iron railing, and then kissing it. Just to be safe, do not do this close to anyone, apart from your loved ones. Then you have “The Gift of Eloquence”.

That is not all about Blarney. The Garden has a long history and is shrouded in mystery, which adds to the experience an additional thread to discuss.

If the wild lands, neolithic stones from the Seven Sisters, and the Witch’s Kitchen background do not seem interesting enough, you can try to discover additional answers to the magic Blarney Stone.

Through the hidden Poison Garden, which contains a collection of poisonous plants such as wolfsbane, mandrake, opium or cannabis, you can theorise if the “Gift of Eloquence” comes from a magical kiss, or rather from the traditional uses of these assortment of plants.
