  1. I've been there, and it's REALLY big! Very tall building with a winding, narrow staircase (127 steps) to get to the Blarney Stone. AND you have to bend backwards to kiss it, where, it is said, the locals pee! Absolutely breath-taking view! The present ruin is in two parts - a slender peel tower (16ft by 14ft) which is the earliest part and a much larger mass (60ft by 36ft, 5 storys; 66 - 85 ft in height) which was then attached to it around the end of the 15th century. The peel tower contains what became known as the `Earl's bedroom', the winding stairwell, and a kitchen; the `stone' is in the new, or larger part. The battlements, with enormous corbel stones, seem to be of an even later date - possibly the late 16th or early 17th century. The castle walls range in thickness from 12ft at the base to 8ft at the third story.
