How large is the Blarney Estate?

Question

I am doing a research paper on the Blarney Estate in Ireland. If you might know about any other sites that could help me, or even any simple information it would be greatly appriciated.

Answer 1

Blarney is a village in the south of Ireland, located 8 km northwest of Cork in the Republic of Ireland. It is the site of Blarney Castle, home of the legendary Blarney Stone.

medieval stronghold in Blarney, near Cork, Ireland. It is near the River Martin.

The castle originally dates from before AD 1200. It was destroyed in 1446, but subsequently rebuilt by Dermot McCarthy, the King of Munster. It is currently a partial ruin with some accessible rooms and the battlements. At the top of the castle lies the Stone of Eloquence, also called the Blarney Stone. Tourists visiting Blarney Castle may be positioned upside-down and kiss the stone, which is said to give the gift of eloquence. Photographs are taken of the "magic moment". There are many legends as to the origin of the stone, but some say that was the "Lia Fail" or the magical stone Irish kings were crowned upon.

You could try to contact the Toastmaster Club to see if they could provide you with more local info:
