- Cong Village. We’re going to start off with the ‘main attraction’, so-to-speak. The picturesque little village of Cong in County Mayo is finely plonked between the lakes of Corrib and Mask.
- Pat Cohan’s. Pat Cohan’s Pub is one of the more famous The Quiet Man filming locations and it was seen in multiple different scenes during the movie. Arguably its most famous appearance was during the fight scene (remember when the lads had the barrel of water thrown over them?!).
- Reverend Playfair’s House. One of my favourite The Quiet Man filming locations is the little cottage that sits a stone’s throw from Cong Abbey just outside the town centre, next to the river.
- The Quiet Man Cottage. The same can’t be said for the real (I say real as there is a replica) The Quiet Man Cottage which is now in a state of ruin. The thatched cottage was the ancestral home bought by Sean Thornton when he returned to Ireland and it was one of the more iconic The Quiet Man filming locations.
Apr 22, 2021 · IT'S ONE of the best-loved films ever to come out of the Emerald Isle, thanks in no small part to idyllic landscape featured within. While the movie is set in the village of Inishfree, the real-life location is the quaint village of Cong in County Mayo.

The very first The Quiet Man filming location is a corker. Sean pulls up in a steam train at Castletown, which is fictional. In reality, the train station is Ballyglunin Railway Station in County Galway. The station is tiny and no longer in use, but it is such a popular tourist attraction that it is still open to fans! And the big green “Castletown...
But, how can I be sure that this is the Quiet Man Bridge? Because it is called the Quiet Man Bridge! Yes, like James Bond Island, some things become so synonymous with popular culture that they demand notoriety. On his way from Castletown Railway Station to his hometown of Inisfree, Sean hops off his horse and cart while on a cobblestone bridge to ...
As Michaeleen Flynn chats with Father Lonergan, Sean spots a beautiful ginger lady herding sheep in a field. And who can blame him, eh? It is, of course, Maureen O’Hara as Mary Kate Danaher. She is herding sheep on what is now the third fairway of a golf course. It is part of the 13th-century Ashford Castle estate in Cong, County Galway on the bord...
The Quiet Man locations get better and better. Having just arrived in Inisfree, Michaeleen takes him to the local pub for a cold one. It is Pat Cohan Bar which is still there today! From the outside, it looks no different. It is located on Main Street in Cong, County Mayo. Literally just down the road from Ashford Castle.
Sean attends Father Lonergan’s 7 o’clock mass as he promised to pay respects to Sean’s deceased mother. The exterior is St Mary’s Church also in Cong, County Mayo. Read next: P.S. I Love You Filming Locations in Ireland
It’s a little amusing that the exterior of the church is the local protestant church and the interior is the local catholic one. And they both have the same name! St Mary of the Rosary Catholic Church had such a stunning stained glass window, but the outside is in ruins. So, I understand why they chose a different church for the exterior of this Th...
Determined to buy back his childhood home, Sean pays a visit to the lady who now owns the house. Widow Tillane is rich and lives in a beautiful white cottage with a rather grand emerald interior. The inside is so obviously a studio set because it is way too lavish for rural Ireland in the 1920s, even if the owners did have the cash to spare. And th...
Sean manages to win around the villagers of Inisfree by buying everyone a pint of porter. That really is all it takes to get people onside, isn’t it? Just buy people drinks. Then, Michaeleen escorts Sean to his new/old home, White O’Morn Cottage. Such an idyllic house with its thatched roof, flower beds and cosy fireplace. Unfortunately, this is on...
Bless every single soul who submitted one of The Quiet Man locations to Google Maps. You make my job so easy. After Sean spontaneously kisses Mary Kate in his cottage, he sends Michaeleen to stand outside of the Danaher House to announce his intentions to start courting Mary Kate. The house is located just southwest of Ashford Castle in the village...
A bit random, but Sean enters the Inisfree Cup horse race? Because for some reason it an essential part of Sean and Michaeleen’s trick against Will Danaher so he will allow Sean and Mary Kate’s marriage? Personally, I do not understand this scene! Regardless, The Quiet Man location for this scene is Lettergesh Beach in Connemara, County Galway. Tho...
