Badger Cave<\/strong>
\n* Blarney Castle, Blarney, Ireland * http:\/\/www.blarneycastle.ie<\/a> * <\/em><\/p>\n

A feature of the Blarney Castle are the caves below the fortress called “Badger Cave”. This was the escape route used by the guard when Cromwell’s general Lord Broghill besieged the castle and fired down from Card Hill above the lake and broke through the tower walls. He found only two trusty old retainers and the gold plate that Broghill was after was taken through the caves to escape his capture. There are believed to be three passages in these caves – one that leads to Cork, another to the lake, and another to Kerry. However, no one seems to be able to find these legendary passages ….<\/p>\n
