Ireland - Blarney Castle II





























You can see how thick the fog was. Cold too!














If you look at the top of this tower, you will see a small gap. This gap is where you are lowered head first and face up to kiss the Blarney Stone. Kind of scary but they do have bars in to stop you from falling!














I like this photo for some reason!














We really enjoyed visiting Blarney Castle. Probably one of the better castles we have visited. That may be due to the fact that it was quite dramatic with the thick fog being about that morning.
We visited quite early in order to avoid the coach tours etc.
Blarney Castle is over 600 years old! More information can be found here if you are interested in learning about the history of the castle.
