Blarney railway station

Blarney railway station was a terminus station on the Cork and Muskerry Light Railway (CMLR) in County Cork, Ireland.

The station served Blarney, and was located on the south side of the town's main square, with Blarney Castle a short walk to the south west.

The Great Southern and Western Railway (GS&WR) also had a station serving Blarney on their Mallow to Cork section of main line which had been open since 18 October 1849 and which had already been responsible for vastly increasing the number of tourists.
