The Quiet Man Film Locations in Ireland May 2011 

Maureen O'Hara a woman of natural beauty..John Wayne..Victor McClaglen..Barry Fitzgerald the list goes on..RIP...thanks for leaving us this great film.

How can u not love this movie I discovered cong from watching this film all the great years we had traveled up stopping at so many great places for lunch mawm cross for a drink what would I give to get back those days when my son was small we taught we never get sick or that bit older god bless

With so many movies being remade I can ever imagine this being one..I have it taped on my DVR and watch it at least once aweek..its my feel good movie

A very fine movie. Location shooting, John Ford directing, stellar cast, GREAT storyline. I’ve watched it at least 30-35 times. Never gets old.

It's one wonderful film, I've walked around the places where it was filmed, it's one off 2 great films the other it's a wonderful life, I've watched them both 500 or 600 times, we don't have actors like them today. Bless them all 💖😇

Amazing all these years, and people still come to see this place...

This is one of my favorite movies. I'm always sad when it ends. I want it to go on and on.

Love this film. It is my all time fave. Shame that the cottage is now in ruins.

Best film ever as a kids a adult watched march17 every yr w my dad a i try a get my grand kids to keep tradition st.pats day w corn beef a cabbage being Irish 100. My grand kids love it

Just to let those who are interested know,, JOHN FORD, was actully born Martin (Jack) Feeney whos father was from Spiddal in County Galway and whos Mother came from the Aran Islands just a stones throw from Spiddal. That is why John came to Ireland and made this film. He was coming home to his roots as many do each year. All are welcome and find Ireland a wonderful hospitable beautiful country whos people are easy going and love music and a wee drink. Ok . just a little bit of history.

Well done . My dad was adopted by Irish folks in 1916. I never got to meet them . but I thank them for their kindness. I guess thats why I love Irish music. Thank you Willam and Margaret D.

what a great movie it was,and yes I was born in Ireland and was back to THE OLD SOD MANY TIMES. BUT I LIVE NOW ON THE OUR SIDE OF THE WORLD IN CANADA> ALMOST 50YRS NOW

a film that will never be equalled,john victor and maureen and that great actor barry,,god bless you,not forgetting ward bond,,another great actor,,this film carries so many memories as a child,,,

I've been a life long sentimentalist so it's hardly a surprise that this movie has been a favorite for all of my long life. The only surprise is that it wasn't nomi ated for a half dozen Oscars at least: best picture, actor, actress, director, supporting actor, music, cinematography.. Everything about this film is perfect. It always will be perfect.

That's so beautiful it's a pity the cottage was let to into ruins The movie is wonderful xxx

We visited Cong and the area of this magnificent film a few years back, lovely place..one of the best films ever made..of course I'm half Irish, but I would still say that anyway..super film..The Duke and Maureen at their best..God bless them.

When ever I see clips videos of Quite man really touches me all those actors came an gone may they rest in peace one thing for sure the film is MASTERPIECE. Long live Ireland

And off they went at the end like a young celtic Kathy & Waynecliff. RIP to both.

mayo and galway....beautiful places.

i woud love to live back then

One of my favorite films and places too.yes pity the cottage fell to disrepair nicely put together.thanks.

I absolutely LOVE. LOVE this movie. The scenery is so beautiful

I saw those places in 2005. Wonderful film.

It’s a great film. I remember they would play it every year for St. Patrick’s Day on television but that was a long time ago.

I'll never get tired of seeing " The Quiet Man ". No never ..........

I fell in love with Ireland, that little bridge, and the movie too. The magic still lives. Thanks for making this video. It was very well made.

I'm flabbergasted that the cottage could have been allowed to fall into such a state of ruin.

Kinda sad to see the cottage gone. Thanx for the vid!

Great watch .one of my late fathers favorite films brings back loads of memories thank you

This was one of my favorites and it still is

A real shame that property isn't restored to its former appearance. I know its the movies but it is a part of Irish history.

A lovely video and looks a nice day out to visit thank you

Thank you so much; that movie has always moved me. I can't believe the cottage was allowed to fall..

This movie is the favorite movie of my wife and I. We went here in 2010 on our honeymoon. We stayed at Ashford castle as did John Wayne and Moreen O'Hara. We went ot all of te sites in thwe movie and is our fondest memory.

Lovely movie.

I was told by my dear dad long ago that our ancesters are from County Mayo. I just saw in the credits that's where this movie was filmed! One of my favorite movies! I'd love to go there someday and try to find out about my ancestors. I think that ship has sailed. Too old now. 😢

Great movie, lovely video! Released in September 1952, almost 68 years ago. Time flies.

I haven't visited Cong for a few years, but when I did I was struck by it's incredible beauty. The town and the various locationws is really worth the time. I recommend the scenic walk along the river.I'm not surprised that the cottage has fallen into disrepair as little is done in Ireland to protect sites of archeological interest. However I don't think the U.S.A. can justly point fingers given how we have been underfunding our national parks for years

Just Beautiful, I hope I will see these places for myself. Thank you.

Just got back from Ireland my gf and I and, yeah, we visited Cong too...what a wonderful country Ireland is. Paul

Thank you for posting. I GREAT Movie.

Excelent work... Many thanks friend...

That cottage should never have been left to go to ruin like that. Its terrible they have not looked after it. I know the cottage is privately owned but the owner is to blame as well.

What a great video, we were over there 5 years ago at the cottage, beautiful place.

Love the Quiet Man movie! Love the film locations, went myself to Cong, and few other parts where the movie was taken. Took some pictures and flew my drone for some aerial footage, beautiful views on that part of Ireland!

Lovely, thank you.

thank you for the video, l am from croatia but one day l will visit, l loved the film and ireland

For what it's worth, all the top John Ford films revolve around community, whether it is the community of a small Irish town or the temporary community of a Stagecoach.

Love this movie and I'm disgusted our nation let this cottage fall to ruin,shame on us

LUV it!

Lovely video....well done! Thanks for sharing it with us....

I can't believe the little Cottage didn't stand the test of time. I wonder what happened? A great walk down memory lane however. Our family always watches it every Saint Patrick's Day.

They built a copy of the cottage in Cong. A group was formed years ago, the owner of the property wouldn't do anything. this information is on nonofficial John Wayne website.

Ireland with all it's roughness out land, has it's buetifull land scap, it's heart it't life. love the music

Great movie

Have been to Eire a number of times. This lovely film would be enhanced if it had subtitles where the pictures were taken even if it all was in Innisfree. But still.... it has no lost value as it is. Wish White o'morn was still in this world.

Wow!I really enjoyed this video and appreciate the time it took to complete! I have stayed in Ashford Castle a few times and the The Quiet Man would come on at 5 pm every day;in your hotel room TV! It's amazing to walk into Cong and still see the celtic cross in front of Pat Cohan's pub. Pne of favorites as well! UP MAYO as well!! God help us! I never knew White O Morn was a place you can visit until I saw this clip. I have also tried fishing in the same river.

prior 2 knowing my Irish ancestors arrived in Baltimore, Maryland in early 1800s I always thought Maryland looks like Ireland

Wonderful job. It was nice to see the spot where my favorite John Wayne film was filmed. Thanks so much for sharing.

Es sin duda, una de las diez mejores películas de la historia del cine.

As I delved into my ancestors, I discovered that I am part Irish! I knew I was mostly Scottish since my grandfather immigrated to the US pryor to WWI. He was from the Isle of Mull and Locke Lomond area. I got the chance to visit Scotland about six years ago and loved the people and environs. When I returned to the US, I kept researching my ancestors. I found a weaver near the coast of northern Ireland that has my surname. And I found The High Road and The Low Road from the area of the weaver to the port that ships would sail to/from Ireland to Scotland. So the next trip to Ireland will be to the area where the weaver is located. I still have more research to do on my ties to Ireland.

Thank you

One of my favourite films. John Ford was a genius. I just love visiting Ireland, the people are so warm and friendly, both north and south. Big Victor Mclaglen who played the squire, always played a hard drinking Irishman with a great sense of humour but he was in fact born in Stepney in London.

Went to see cong a few years ago and did all the touristy bits but as I'm still a bit of a delinquent ( I'm a pensioner now and should know better but I'm Irish and we don't really care for consequences) I decided to walk up to ashford castle hotel and see how far I could get before being asked what are you doing here but I only got as far as the bridge that links the hotel to the driveway and I've always wanted to go back and stay a few nights in the hotel and fully explore cong my wife and I love the west coast of Ireland and stay for a week in different hotels every year so here's hoping when this lockdown is over we'll be back to the west coast

this film makes me wanna visit lreland and l live in it haha im raging l was down there for a feis and l didnt even know it was there they filmed that

Ford's mastery is legendary and has survived the test of time. Many are "triggered" by the movie's stark reminder that our traditions and unwavering love of family distinguishes us from animals in the jungles.

What a lovely video.

Such a crying shame that house has been demolished

Great job! So sad that the current owner of Cottage O' Morn (John Wayne's cottage) has refused to restore it and let it go to ruin all these years..

I wished someone would rebuild the "Quiet Man" house. Also someone needs refurbish the bridge before it is to late. I do not know how important the movie is to Ireland, but I know how important the movie and John Wayne is to the United States. The movie might be far more important to the U.S. than to Ireland.

i'm going to want it again right now!! :)

The Quiet Man was the biggest and best thing that happened to that part of Ireland ( Cong ) they keep up all the buildings in the village but White A,morn has been left to ruin - would it not be good of someone to re-instate the cottage for all the "pilgrims " who come year after year to see where that great film was filmed - i visited Cong a few years back and its almost a magical place to be - following in the footsteps of our " Hollywood Heroes "

Great!!!!

You can also glimpse Thoor Ballylee, the austere tower castle poet WB Yeats restored as his summer home, in the movie. Beautiful place to visit in Ireland.

Thank you. Lovingly done.

it must be nice to know where you came from and to go back and visit. I am from parts unknown and have no idea where I came from or who my relatives really were Ireland would be a nice place to trace ones roots. Signed the outcast lone wolf

Nature’s own green land absolutely stunning ☘️☘️

Wow. Just the thought of Ireland as a 51st state. What a grand union that could have been.

Magnifique 😍

Come visit Maureen and Duke ~ "Forever In Our Hearts" ~ Fan Group on Facebook. It's nice.

ty for sharing

You are absolutely right- it is owned by an American who has let it go to hell for the past 28 years and done nothing to preserve it tho he claims he wants to rebuild it yet turns down all offers of help to do so both public and private- see more here facebook dot com forward slash quietmancottage

Great Ireland

It’s truly astonishing that White o morn is in such a state of decay. It looks like it’s been abandoned for hundreds of years!

This is a complete shame that that beautiful quaint cottage was left to the elements like that! It looks like it was bombed.

HEAVEN?

I wonder why it never happened we as a people have more in common with the U.S. than any european country

Great video, was a little suprised not to see Ballyglunin railway station in it. It was renamed Castletown for the movie in the arrival scene. .

love the video , bloody american,s why would you let a wonderful place like that go to ruin , even without the film ,

Makes me wish I was from Ireland. Oh to find a woman like Maureen!❤️❤️❤️

It would be just grand to see a RU-vid presentation about the famous old Jesuit school in Cong. Perhaps alum might consider doing that.

Ha I needed a bit of cheering up and this was just the thing.

Then the solution is to get an Irish petition to claim the place as a national treasure, give the guy fair monetary compensation, and then ban his visa. The Irish people must speak so.

the pub is now for sale at 3oo-euros

So, the little thatched cottage where all the Thorntons were born is gone. : (

Watching this reminds me of the trips I`ve taken there. And did you get permission to go to the cottage or did you bribe their dog as I did. He was very studious and loud until I came forth with some Beggin Strips and afterward was very agreeable to my picture taking. There are some nice beach scenes they missed also, where the race was conducted and of course the churches there in Cong and in Clifden.

see... Inisfree This Way a 1991 Documentary. from Radiofones on youtube.

Great shame the cottage was left to decay.. spelt Danaghers not Dannahers? Love the mist on the mountain @ 0.59..

Nice job Slainte

Funny the Duke was one of the only actors in this movie that didn't actually come from Ireland.
