This is reportedly the site of the conversion of King Aenghus of Munster by St. Patrick in the 5th century. For centuries The Rock of Cashel has been the seat of the High Kings of Munster. Most of the buildings on the current site date from the 12th and 13th centuries when the rock was gifted to the Church. This limestone rocky spectacle is immersed in well over 1000 years of Irish History. As you approach the Rock of Cashel you will be amazed by the grandeur and sheer size of this ancient masterpiece. The effort that must have gone into this incredible site leaves a lot to the imagination. We arrive here fully informed for a lovely walkaround the site walking the footsteps of those who have done centuries before us.

BLARNEY CASTLE

Famed in song and story, the Irish are famous for the “Blarney”. Kiss the Blarney Stone and you too will receive this “gift of the gab” - 7 years of eloquent speech. Situated on the battlements of Blarney Castle you will have to bend over backwards to kiss the stone! You have time to enjoy a stroll around the fabulous gardens of the Blarney Estate or maybe enjoy the beautiful Lake Walk. We also visit the Witches Cave in the castle grounds before having plenty of time to indulge in the tax free shopping haven of the Blarney Woollen Mills and craft shop.
