When we speak ancient, we normally expect some aspect of history to be revealed. That’s simple, basic and plain. Surely we can add more to that to make some place stand out and distinct from the rest. Imagine sipping a glass of Ireland’s exquisite choice of whiskey while touring a great old distillery. Hold your glasses up high and say cheers, for you can indeed travel a hundred years back and relive the years gone by of producing world renowned Irish whiskey. Gather your peers up and schedule a tour around the Old Midleton Distillery, the only place in Cork where you can view the giant fermentation vessels and the world’s largest pot. Quite impressively, this old building have been in the business for over a hundred of years now and still is leading in the market arena.
Whether you are a traveler in Cork or are planning a visit, you must undoubtedly have heard of the world-famous Stone of Eloquence. It is the sole stone in the whole world believed to possess magical powers to grant the gift of eloquence to anyone who kisses it. Although girls would most probably prefer a charming prince and boys a lovely princess, it is certainly worth kissing a lifeless precious piece of stone if it would mean eloquence for the rest of your life, isn’t it? Does this sound like a fantasy come true? Wait until you read this. The stone can actually be found in one of Ireland’s oldest and most historic castle! The Blarney Castle is not only famous for its stone. It is also famous for its garden. The Blarney garden continues to enchant visitors for it is said to convey a druidic charm and delights of centuries past. Most amazing of all, the term “Blarney” literally means a pleasant talk intending to deceive without offending.
These two are only among the many attractions in County Cork. The place is in itself an attraction. Picture a big mass of land bordered by none other than the Atlantic Ocean! And yes, you can start expecting some great ocean view, bays, and secret coves, perfect for any relaxing and laid back getaways. County Cork will certainly put your senses in some good groove.
