説明

Journey through Irish history and traditions on an orientation tour of Cork City that features visits to Blarney Castle and a historic woolen mill. Just a half-hour’s coach ride through rolling countryside from Cobh, the little village of Blarney lies in the protective shadow of ultra-famous castle. And set within its battlements, the legendary Blarney Stone awaits your kiss – but you’ll have to lean over backwards from the parapet walk to reach it. The gift of eloquence will be your reward for success. Nearby Blarney Woolen Mills is considered one of Ireland’s premier craft and gift centers; you’ll stop for an Irish coffee and some delightful browsing time there. Back on the coach, a panoramic orientation drive through Cork is next on the agenda. Ireland’s second city retains much of its pleasant country-town charm, yet is also a vibrant university city, alive with jazz, film, opera, theaters, and trendy restaurants. Some of the top Cork sights you’ll encounter during the drive include St. Fin Barre’s Cathedral, the Old Courthouse, City Hall, and the renowned Bells of Shandon atop St Anne’s church – with its 11-foot salmon weathervane.

Helpful Hints

  • Wear weather-appropriate clothing; include a light raincoat or umbrella.
  • Flat, comfortable walking shoes are recommended.
  • Bring a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen as needed.
  • The Blarney Castle visit includes some 300 yards of walking, with 110 steps to climb. Wheelchair guests and those with mobility concerns will not be able to explore the Castle ruins or reach the Blarney Stone but may explore the Caste grounds and gardens. To kiss the Stone, guests should be in good physical condition and willing to wait in a line that can be very long at times. The order of sights viewed or visited may vary.
