Day 3:Blarney Castle & Killarney
You'll continue to the limestone Rock of Cashel which stands out boldly against the landscape. There are a group of buildings on the rock- the Round Tower at 92 feet high and the old castle at 80 feet high. The town name Cashel is derived from the Irish "caiseal" meaning stone fort. Your next stop will be the famed 15th century Blarney Castle. You will have the opportunity (if you dare) to kiss the Blarney Stone and gain the gift of eloquence! Visit a nearby sheep farm for freshly-baked scones with tea and watch trained dogs herd sheep. Visit the Blarney Woollen Mills where you can find quality Irish made goods of all types, conveniently displayed under one roof. Drive through Macroom, built around a fine castle, and into County Kerry where the scenery becomes more mountainous. Arrive in Killarney, picturesquely set beside lakes with Ireland’s highest mountains, the Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, forming a backdrop. Check in to your hotel and relax before dinner.
