Tourists have to pay to kiss the rocks while queuing / Blarney Castle

#NovemberDestinations2025 Blarney Castle is a historic medieval castle located in Blarney, County Cork, Ireland. It's most famous for the "Stone of Eloquence" atop the castle; legend says that kissing this stone grants eloquence. Climbing the ruins of Blarney Castle, you'll see visitors, with the assistance of staff, holding onto the railings and lying backwards to kiss the "Stone of Eloquence" upside down. Those with a fear of heights or obsessive-compulsive disorder should avoid this! 😀 Besides the castle, I think the back garden is even more worthwhile. The garden is spacious, with winding paths to admire various plants and many ancient trees. Picnicking on the grass under the trees is truly refreshing. There's also a castle building in the garden, its exterior perfectly beautiful; it feels like a place fit for princesses and princes, while the ancient Blarney Castle looks like a place where witches were imprisoned! 😀 So, when you visit Blarney Castle, remember to take a stroll through the garden.
