( WLIW New York / July 23, 2012 ) This 15th century castle, nestled in southern Ireland about 150 miles southwest of Dublin, would be considered romantic if it weren¿t for its most popular attraction, the Blarney Stone. According to legend, the stone grants eloquence to those who kiss it. So, statesmen and tourists alike have been puckering up for hundreds of years in hopes of gaining the gift of gab. Think of the germs from thousands of smooches. To make matters worse, you have to lay on your back and tilt your head back to get cozy with the stone.

Add / View comments | Discussion FAQJust to let you know LAT editors,why does the headline on this piece use "UNromantic" when it refers to romantic places? Those words do not quite mean the same thing.
I think I saw a similar list on TravelExplosion.com the other day. My vote is for New York City!

Nope ! Try as I might,I STILL cannot see anything unromantic about them. I travelled extensively in the 80's and 90's around the UK on business and can assure you that it would be ever so easy to point out FAR worse places just in this country. I have tested the pictures on my niece and sister,and they both agree with my view.
