You can easily walk from Blarney Woollen Mills to Blarney Castle. They are literally across the street from each other! When we visited Blarney Castle, we walked across the street to Blarney Woollen Mills to do a little shopping and grab a cup of coffee! We also got our Uber back to the cruise ship from Blarney Woollen Mills. Can You Visit Both Blarney Castle and Blarney Woollen Mills and Still Get Back in Time Before Your Cruise Ship Sails? Yes, you can visit both Blarney Castle and Blarney Woollen Mills and still get back in time before your cruise ship sails. You will need approximately 2 hours at Blarney Castle and give yourself an hour at Blarney Woollen Mills. Plus you will need to give yourself 1.5 hours travel time plus another hour to get an Uber or Taxi.

You will have to wait a long time to get an Uber and taxis are not common and you will only be able to get a taxi by chance. I suggest playing it safe, ask your taxi driver to wait for you so you are guaranteed a taxi ride back to your cruise ship! Blarney Woollen Mills
