Description: An 8 hour day tour to Blarney and visit Blarney Castle and kiss the famous stone followed by a visit to the woollen mills just across the road which includes a great Irish shopping experience.

Kinsale is famous for its many restaurants and pubs so lunch here is a must before a stroll around its narrow and winding streets.After Kinsale if time permits would be a coastal drive out around The Old Head of Kinsale before going back to Cobh, where again if time allows a visit to Cobh's Cathedral and or The Queenstown Story. The tour company is flexible.
