Killarney versus Blarney - Kinsale

[Tedferg]

I think Cobh might be an opportunity for a scenic tour versus a city tour of Cork. I wondered about Killarney; however, most tours are to Blarney Castle and Kinsale. I wonder if Blarney is not just a tourist spot because of the Stone. Your thoughts please?

Blarney, quaint spot. woollen mills great for shopping, kiss the stone (yuck).

Kinsale pretty seaside town. Drive just under one hour.

Cobh is the port, Cork is the town. Both great spots. If you are looking for something close to ship, do a Cobh tour, of Blarney, Passage West museum, maybe Kinsale and back.

Killarney is lovely, but at least one and half hours from Cobh.
