Blarney just 8km (5 miles) from Cork City is set in beautiful wooded countryside, it is an ideal base to visit the many wonderful sights of Cork and Kerry. One of the finest things that impress the first time visitor is the well preserved village square. Blarney is one of the few villages in Ireland which has such a fi

ne amenity, and today it continues to be a focal point of village life. The village has developed around the square which is owned and carefully maintained by Blarney Castle Estate. Blarney is small village and the people are friendly and welcoming towards the visitor. Some great sights to visit include the legendary Blarney Stone at Blarney Castle. For many of the visitors to Blarney, their first priority is to kiss the famous Blarney Stone high up on the Castle battlements. Tradition holds that those who kiss the Blarney Stone will be endowed with the gift of eloquence - "the gift of the gab", as the locals call it. The castle is situated in over a thousand acres of magnificent woodland, making it the ideal place to take walks to enjoy the clean fresh environment of Blarney. Shopping is a pleasure in the village where there are a number of excellent outlets, including the world famous Blarney Woollen Mills. Blarney offers a superb variety of recreational pursuits to suit all ages. The golfer has several excellent eighteen hole courses to choose from; two within five miles of the village. There is a network of quiet country lanes for the walking enthusiast. Locally, you can fish for salmon, wild brown trout or coarse fish.

With elections looming, and in accordance with our ongoing litter policy, Blarney Tidy Towns have contacted all political parties and asked that no posters are erected within the village boundaries as below.

The policy, in line with many more village and towns throughout Ireland, has been voluntarily upheld for several elections, and we hope this year will be no different.

We ask that no posters are erected on public lands and poles in the village and out as far as;

Pauds Cross
The Clogheen Milcon roundabout
The bridge at Killard
Killowen Cross
The Waterloo Inn
The SOS premises on Station Road

Many thanks to observing parties and individuals.

We have the most beautiful village and it’s kept that way by a tiny group of people, less than 20 from our population of nearly 3000.

If you’d like to join Blarney Tidy Towns group and give just ONE HOUR A MONTH please come along this Saturday morning.

Meet at 10am this coming Saturday on the plaza outside the church of Ireland. They don’t bite, some might even say they’re good fun!

Joking apart, please consider making this your new year’s resolution or Lenten resolve, we really do need more people if our village is to remain as beautiful as it is.
