点评:I got to experience the Blarney Castle and Gardens as part of my Irish Adventure tour run by CIE Tours (you can read my review of the amazing Irish Adventure tour on CIE’s TripAdvisor page). I am so delighted that I got to visit Blarney Castle and Gardens.
This ended up being one of my favorite stops of the entire tour. The castle itself is steeped in history, and climbing up the very narrow, winding stone stairwell to reach the famous Blarney Stone is an experience in itself. The steps are tiny… my travel companion literally had to turn sideways to squeeze through one section!
Of course, kissing the stone was a must, but I also loved exploring the castle’s hidden details, especially spotting a medieval toilet (always a personal favorite when visiting castles).
The gardens are just as impressive as the castle, with lush greenery, winding paths, and truly beautiful ancient trees that make the whole place feel magical. It’s the perfect mix of history and nature, and an absolute must-see when visiting Ireland.
翻译:我有幸参加了CIE Tours组织的爱尔兰探险之旅,其中就包括参观布拉尼城堡和花园(您可以在CIE的TripAdvisor页面上阅读我对这次精彩爱尔兰探险之旅的评论)。能够参观布拉尼城堡和花园,我感到无比兴奋。
这最终成为了我整个旅程中最喜欢的景点之一。城堡本身就充满了历史气息,攀登狭窄蜿蜒的石阶到达著名的布拉尼石本身就是一种独特的体验。台阶非常小……我的旅伴甚至不得不侧身才能挤过一段!
当然,亲吻布拉尼石是必不可少的,但我更喜欢探索城堡中那些隐藏的细节,尤其是发现了一个中世纪的厕所(这始终是我参观城堡时最喜欢的部分)。
花园也和城堡一样令人印象深刻,郁郁葱葱的绿植、蜿蜒的小径和古树参天,营造出一种神奇的氛围。这里完美融合了历史与自然,是爱尔兰之旅的必游之地。
