FIRST STOP IN IRELAND... BLARNEY CASTLE

Blarney Castle in the Village of Blarney, near Cork, Ireland

For in-depth information and history about Blarney Castle,
Blarney House, the Blarney Stone and a view of the grounds and gardens,
click on Blarney Castle - lots to see!

The view on the climb to the Blarney Stone is breathtaking -
notice the tiny, rugged little ferns, with a foothold in the rock crevices.

The precarious journey to the Blarney Stone.

Special thanks, again to S.R. Calef for these ©2007 photos from his European cruise.
