Apparently the Blarney Stone is not worth your time according to one travel writer. The famous site was placed on a list of worst sites in the world to visit in Catherine Price’s new book '101 Places Not to See Before You Die.’ The stone was deemed a terrible travel spot due to the unhygienic trace bits of spit on the stone that more than 300,000 visitors per year kiss.
Ironically the stone is already seeing a loss in visitors as visitor numbers are down from 400,000 to 338,000 last year and are expected to fall below 300,000 this year. But at least the Castle owner Sir Charles Colthurst has a sense of humor saying that the low number of visitors will reduce the amount of saliva that irks Price so.
