Cong Abbey and Village, Ashford Castle

"The town is obsessed with The Quiet Man , a film that much of the rest of the world may have forgotten but which, shot here in 1956 and starring John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara, is well remembered here. It's a highly romanticized portrayal of Ireland and is in many ways an expression of the emigrants' notion of Ireland and Irishness."
