The Blarney Stone — Blarney, Ireland

Legend has it that kissing this random rock will give the kisser the gift of gab. In reality, it's probably just herpes. Plus, locals are said to pee on it to mess with tourists.

Instead, take the Clogheenmilcon Walk around the the Clogheenmilcon Sanctuary, which features 100 acres of lush wetland in what used to be a lake, a remnant of the last Ice Age.
