Blarney Castle & Cobh Day Tour

This tour from Cork explores Blarney Castle & Woollen Mills and the Great Island to explore the town of Cobh. This is the perfect day tour for those wanting to make the most out of a short time in Cork.

Departing from St. Patrick’s Quay, Cork City at 09:30 sharp we will head straight to Blarney Castle where you can visit Blarney Castle and kiss the legendary Blarney stone. It is believed that if you kiss the Blarney stone you will be blessed with the ‘gift of the gab’ for seven years. Take time to explore Blarney Castle and Gardens, making sure you get the chance to see the castle from as many angles as you can, climbing the steps as the great and good have done before you. Take a journey through the diverse surroundings of the Blarney Castle Gardens and then take time to enjoy the village of Blarney itself – not to mention the fabulous Blarney Woollen Mills and tea rooms.

Leaving Blarney we will journey to the picturesque town of Cobh (formerly known as Queenstown). Cobh is famous as the point of embarkation for millions of Irish emigrants travelling away from Ireland during the 1800s and 1900s. It was also the last stop of the Titanic.
