We did not venture up the tower to do this- it requires a wait to make your way up the winding stairs, a caretaker at the top to help position you upon a ledge.  You lie on your back, lean your head back and try to kiss the stone wall. No, thank you.

You can meander along the paths at your leisure. It&#8217;s a gardener&#8217;s dream. I recommend the Poison garden, even though most of the perennials were not yet in foliage or bloom, there is fascinating, educational information beside each. Also, not to be missed is the Boardwalk and River garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is so much to see in the Gardens that you&#8217;ll be surprised at how quickly the time passes. It was already early afternoon before we left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shopping at Blarney<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>And how convenient it was that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blarney.com\/\">Blarney Woolen Mills<\/a> is right there as you exit? Perfect, to do some shopping&#8230; No need to worry about stuffing your purchases in the luggage- they will ship to the U.S. and often have a dollar amount at which you can get free-shipping. Spend on! Seriously, the quality and softness of the merino wool is superb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cork and the English Market<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, we were ready to head over to Cork and its famous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.corkcity.ie\/en\/english-market\/\">English Market<\/a>. Being the Friday of Easter weekend, we wanted to buy fresh meat and accompaniments. Little did we know that the market closes at 6 p.m and it was already after 5! Unfortunately, this is why I have no pics of the entire, short experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a frenzied rush, we managed to locate some fresh lamb chops, cheese, vegetables and new potatoes. We quickly swooped up a few small cakes and chocolates &#8211; sometimes it&#8217;s better not to have much time to ponder -&#8216;should we get this or that&#8217;?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The English Market is large and you will find high quality, fresh local food. I wished that we had been able to return before the end of our trip as well as spending more time walking through Cork. It&#8217;s a lovely city without the smog and frenetic pace that we have back home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Killarney<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The drive to Killarney was straight through on the N22 from Kinsale. Under 1 1\/2 hours, and we were in the heart of the Ring of Kerry. It is a gorgeous, scenic area and I recommend planning to spend at least a full day to enjoy the entire area of Killarney National Park. The park has lakes, waterfalls, the highest mountain in Ireland and over 26,000 acres of natural oak woodland- the most in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/chloelina.com\/authentic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Muckross-horse-C2517.png\" alt=\"white horse standing behind shrubs with Killarney mountains in background\" class=\"wp-image-2192\" style=\"width:840px;height:1120px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chloelina.com\/authentic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Muckross-horse-C2517.png 750w, https:\/\/chloelina.com\/authentic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Muckross-horse-C2517-225x300.png 225w, https:\/\/chloelina.com\/authentic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Muckross-horse-C2517-113x150.png 113w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Muckross Traditional Farm Resident<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Muckross House<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>On this trip, we headed directly to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.muckross-house.ie\/direction.html\">Muckross House, Garden and Farms<\/a>.
