Blarney Woollen Mills
Review
Blarney Woollen Mills is far more than a souvenir stop, it’s a brilliant Irish success story you can experience firsthand. From humble beginnings at an old Irish cottage, beside this historic mill, Christy Kelleher once carried his woollen garments up to Blarney Castle to sell in the gift shop. That same drive and audacity still fuels the award-winning, family-run attraction today. Inside, you’ll find quality Irish knitwear, homewares and gifts, with the simple pleasure of buying direct at prices that feel fair, and the handy option of having bespoke purchases shipped home. The staff are warm and knowledgeable, and the whole place feels like a celebration of Irish craft and enterprise. After a browse, the café is a treat, serving comforting food and a welcome pause before you head back out. And if you’re touring beyond Cork, it’s worth knowing there’s another Blarney Woollen Mills shop beside Bunratty Castle too.
