Blarney Castle is a must for anyone visiting Ireland. Just north or Cork it is a perfect
first Castle if you did not visit Dublin Castle on your way. Not only will you see the
remains of the castle but you will also experience the tight quarters and difficulties
of castle life. with very tight winding staircases and small spaces, castle life was not
always a fairytale. Along the sloping path you will see the "bhearna bhaoil".
This wall was a strong defense against invaders.
The poison garden is also a unique visit on the castle grounds include Mandrake Root, Rhubarb,
and other poisonous plant life.
