After leaving Blarney Castle (or possibly before) we'll also visit Blarney Wollen Mills...Built in 1824, Blarney Woollen Mills was originally known as Mahony's Mills and provided valuable employment to the people of Blarney and surrounding areas. It was a water powered mill and it produced tweeds and woollens for the home and export markets. There are stores thoughout the island but the flagship store is located here.
After leaving Blarney we'll continue on to Cashel...here we'll see the majestic church ruins overlooking the surrounding countryside. We'll stop and take pictures of the "Rock of Cashel" . (http://www.cashel.ie/tourism.php?sect=Rock%20Of%20Cashel)
One of the most spectacular tourist attractions in Ireland and one of the most visited. Cashel’s rich history is reflected in its built heritage, from prehistoric raths to mediaeval monasteries.
After leaving Cashel we'll head towards Holycross and Farney Castle. Here we'll meet with designer Cyril Cullen. Farney Castle is both his home and design studio.
After visiting with Cyril we'll head Kilkenny.
Here we can relax or take a stroll before dining at the Rivercourt Hotel (http://www.rivercourthotel.com/).
