One of Ireland's most popular historic tourist attractions, Blarney Castle is a visual treat but the public has never seen it quite like this! Modern technology and a medieval stronghold come together! What a treat. You simply won't believe this first-person view drone footage of Blarney Castle and Gardens , in Blarney, near Cork. Built in 1446 and a firm favorite amongst tourists from at home and abroad this footage really brings the sights and experiences of the wonderful stronghold to life.
Filmed by Aerial Photography Ireland using an FPV drone the unique video is certainly "something a little different", as the Blarney Castle spokesperson told IrishCentral. "It allowed us to fly in places normal drones can't go. We flew up the stairs of the castle, through the circle in the stone feature and down the stairs of the wishing steps.
We also loved the dramatic flight paths these drones can do which help make a really striking video." The video starts with the drown flying through the ticket office and down the route visitors take to approach the castle. It then flies down the river that runs through the grounds and towards the famous stone feature with the circle in it and we flew through that.
After that, it heads towards the fern garden and makes a pass by the waterfall and under some of the ferns. The drone passes the famous witches' stone and our renowned witches' yew tree which is 600 years old. It then flies through Blarney Castle and Garden's 90-meter-long pergola call.
