Cork tourist hotspots

While out and about, be sure to stop by the small town of Blarney on your way. Medieval Blarney Castle is home to the legendary Blarney Stone, said to give eloquence, or “the gift of the gab”, to anyone who kisses it. The only problem is you need to be hung upside down over a steep ledge to get your lips within puckering distance of the stone, so visit with someone you trust! Blarney Castle also has an interesting, if slightly sinister, Poison Garden, with plants including opium, ricin and wolfsbane on display. Just down the road, Blarney Woollen Mills is a must-visit for tourists in search of a souvenir Aran sweater. With their origins in the fishing industry, several patterns have nautical significance, for instance the basket weave carries a message of hopes for a good catch.
