- About a quarter of a mile to the south of Blarney Castle rises a steep hill known as Card Hill. Its gaelic name is Cnoc na gCártaí or the hill of the cards. Tradition tells us that long ago weary travellers rested there and played that ancient game of cards before entering or after leaving the city of Cork. The remains of an old road goes a long way to prove the truth of this.
