Blarney Castle: Ainda Mais Atrações / Even More Attractions
Through several posts we have been showing in details the attractions of Blarney Castle and Gardens, which is one of the most known attractions in Cork and Ireland, but which is quickly visited. Visitors are not aware they can enjoy a lot more on this beautiful tourist spot.Neste outro post mostramos em detalhes o Jardim dos Druídas.
E aqui comentamos sobre o Castelo e a Pedra de Blarney que segundo a tradição, ao ser beijada concede o dom da eloquência.
Mas há muito ainda por ver em Blarney.
Here we talked about the very interesting Poison Garden.On another post we showed in details the Druid Garden.And here we commented about the Castle and the Blarney Stone, which according to tradition, once kissed gives the gift of eloquence.
But there is still a lot more to be seen in Blarney.
FERN GARDEN
The Fern Garden is in the heart of Blarney, there are 80 varieties. Some of them were even planted by Yves Rocher, the owned of the famous cosmetics brand of same name. There you have the highest fern in Ireland with more than 5 meters (204 inches). ICE HOUSE
The Ice House is close to the Fern Garden, it was recently discovered. It was under a dense layer of spines and poisonous plants. It is a structure of circular rock and thick walls. It was probably used in the Victorian age as a primitive "refrigerator". LAKE
If you take a 15 minute walk you will arrive in the lake we can see below. COACH HOUSE CAFE
Where previously were the stables, now it is a coffee shop and a restaurant, which still keep a little of the decoration. It is a good stop there for a good Irish Stew and a hot drink.BLARNEY HOUSE
If you go in the Summer, besides the Castle you will be able to visit Blarney House!Há muito o que ver e apreciar!!
So the advise of Welcome to Ireland is the following: book several hours to walk and get to know Blarney Castle and Gardens. There is a lot to see and enjoy!!

ResponderExcluirRealmente tem um monte de coisa para ver em Blarney, mas muita gente nem se da conta disso!! Vai no Castelo, beija a pedra, dá uma volta rapidinha e já vai embora. E isso é realmente uma pena pois o local oferece muita coisa bonita!!
