Experience the Castles of Ireland SouthwestYou may want to start your visit of the castles of Ireland in the Southwest region. The beautiful southwest includes the counties of Cork and Kerry. It is one of my favorite areas to visit. I love to go to the Dingle Peninsula and hike Mt. Brandon, walk for miles at Inch Beach and drive to Slea Head for a scone and jam.
Ross Castle near Killarney is a majestic castle in a gorgeous setting on the lake.
Blarney Castle is, of course, one of the most visited sites in all of Ireland. You climb the stairs to the top of the castle tower and lean over backwards to kiss the Blarney Stone in hopes of acquiring the gift of eloquence. It's worth a try. You may fly in to the Shannon airport near Limerick and rent a car to begin your tour of this beautiful region.
