What Town Was The Quiet Man filmed in?

Even though the movie was made in 1952, when Irish American director John Ford shot his classic movie The Quiet Man in Ireland in and around the village of Cong, County Mayo and on the grounds of Cong’s Ashford Castle, interest in the movie has never been stronger. The village of Cong and the surrounds have become a pilgrimage of sorts for lovers of this movie.
