Ashford Castle, Historic Cong & The Quiet Man

On Friday May 24th, John & Anne Keane and I took advantage of the sunshine and had a scenic drive through Mayo Co. and went to the historic town of Cong. Ashford Castle is the show stopper here, sitting on the lake, and bordering Galway Co. This beautiful back drop is where a lot of THE QUIET MAN with John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara was filmed in 1952. The little town is very quaint and a bronze statue commemorates the story. The Castle is now a very posh 5 star hotel and golf course, president Biden stayed at last April.
