Blarney: Castle 
Description
Blarney castle is vaguely disappointing after all the hype. It is quite expensive to get in and then there are lot's of extras if you want the full experience (photo of you kissing the blarney stone €8.50, certificate €2.50). The castle itself lacks signage other than a title for each area and the dungeons and caves are not lit and there is no obvious place where you can get a torch to view the them. The grounds are interesting but again lack signage. Having said that the experience of kissing the Blarney stone is interesting. With only one person hanging onto your chest and legs you are lowered head first over the side of the castle to kiss a stone hanging some way out over a big drop!!
