- 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.
