The world famous Blarney Stone is situated high up in the battlements of the castle. Follow one of the several long, stone spiral staircases up to the top and enjoy the spectacular views of the lush green Irish countryside, Blarney House and The Village of Blarney. The stone is believed to be half of the Stone of Scone which originally belonged to Scotland. Scottish Kings were crowned over the stone, because it was believed to have special powers. The stone was given to Cormac McCarthy by Robert the Bruce in 1314 in return for his support in the Battle of Bannockburn. Queen Elizabeth I wanted Irish chiefs to agree to occupy their own lands under title from her. Cormac Teige McCarthy, the Lord of Blarney, handled every Royal request with subtle diplomacy, promising loyalty to the Queen without "giving in". Elizabeth proclaimed that McCarthy was giving her "a lot of Blarney", thus giving rise to the legend.

The current keep of Blarney Castle is a mid-fifteenth century mediaeval castle. It was built on the site of earlier fortifications which date back as far as the end of the 12th Century. It was built during the reign of the House of Lancaster during a period when Irish Chieftains were becoming more and more similar to the Anglo-Irish Lords.

Blarney Castle is a medieval stronghold in Blarney, near Cork, Ireland, and the River Martin.Though earlier fortifications were built on the same spot, the current keep was built by the MacCarthy of Muskerry dynasty, a cadet branch of the Kings of Desmonds, and dates from 1446.

That depends on the route you take. Going by car to Tarbert in Co. Kerry and crossing the Shannon Estuary to Killimer in Co. Clare by the ferry and heading on to the Cliffs of Moher, it is a journey of about 85 miles. If you don't take the ferry, that means going through the city of Limerick, making the journey about 118 miles, plus the delay of getting through the city. You are far better off taking the ferry.
