Blarney Castle is a major attraction for many reasons—acres of gorgeous gardens, the historic Blarney Stone and castle towers and walls.

Bunratty Castle
Bunratty Castle is out of a fantasy with its quiet and charming village, complete with butter churners and peddlers. The actual Bunratty Castle is exactly what anyone would image with its war-like walls and looming stance.

Glendalough
Glendalough during winter is an eerie sight full of medieval steeples, stone ruins and ancient farmland. This sparse land has more of a forgotten look with rolling, snow-covered hills and mist-filled valleys.

Cahir Castle
Cahir Castle was started in the early 1100s and remains one of the largest castles in Ireland. The grand rooms, spiral stone stairways and overall beauty make it one of the best castle stops.
Doe Castle
In the 19th century, Doe Castle was much the same as it remains today, a powerhouse of architecture. Its medieval style plays well with its rich history of war and strife. Surrounded on three sides by water and with an amazing mountainous backdrop, Doe Castle is a must visit.
