Blarney Castle, a great day trip and worth the effort :)

An easy day trip from Dublin, takes us to Cork and the home of the Blarney Stone at Blarney Castle.

We took a relaxing train out of Dublin, down to the Southwestern coast of Ireland, to Cork, and enjoyed a short walk to the Blarney Castle grounds.

As well as making the climb up to the Stone, there is a fair amount of enjoyable scenery and lovely grounds to walk around.

Yup, it is a great day trip and worth the effort :)
