Am I reading the 2018 itinerary correctly?
New counter-clockwise route, starting and ending in Dublin, that's fine,
but no Blarney Castle, no Ashford Castle, and no stop at the Waterford Crystal factory?!?!?!
Yes, Blarney is a bit touristic and a bit of a cliche, kissing the stone and all, but it really is a beautiful ruin and the grounds are beautiful, too. And of course, what does everyone ask when you get home- "Did you kiss the Blarney Stone?' From the private boat trip on Lough Corrib and the spectacular approach by water, to the welcome with piper and staff, Ashford Castle is just incredible.
