#BlarneyCastle #BlarneyStone #KissBlarneyStone
We are in Ireland! The Land of ferries, legends, Leprechauns, and folk lore. And today we are visiting one of Ireland's biggest tourist attraction....Blarney Castle. Blarney Castle and one big mythical limestone rock, The Blarney Stone. Blarney Castle is located just outside Cork, Ireland in the town of Blarney. Blarney Castle is located on 60 acres of gardens with ancient trees and rare plants, with pathways of beautiful gardens and arboretums. The kids are so excited to explore the castles caves, dungeons and the Murder Hole. The Murder Hole being an opening above the front door that the people in the castle could pour boiling oil or water on intruders. One of the main reasons tourists have been flocking to Blarney Castle is The Blarney Stone. This stone promises to give the gift of eloquence or the Gift of Gab to whoever kisses it. And its not just any kiss, it's an upside-down, arch your back over a 8 story drop at the top of the castle. There is a man who sits by the rock to help guests with there back bend and smooch of the mythical Blarney Stone. Blarney Castle and Stone were not the only Irish Folk Lore we visited on this trip to Ireland. We looked for Mookie the sea monster in the Kilarney Lakes, went on hikes through fairy trails. and found the Healing rock in Grange Rock Circle of Lough Gur.

Visiting Ireland vicariously through these videos. I’ve never been to Blarney Castle, but have kissed the Blarney Stone in Shamrock, Texas.

[@adventuresintvland]

@@DoodletheTravelBug No. That was before I was vlogging or even had done any travel writing

Healing those bad dreams. So 🥹 cool. The murder hole. Any ⛳️ for me. SO THAT’S WHERE THE WORD BLARNEY CAME FROM!

Oh wow. Seeing a castle is always fun. I need some of that healing stone. I need an intruder trap. What amazing trip you guys had. Oh wow, that’s a lot of work to kiss that rock.
