Best Cong Tours in Summer

See the quintessential Irish town where the John Wayne movie The Quiet Man was filmed. Cong, which works hard to retain the look it had in the 1952 movie, sits on a thin isthmus between Lough Corrib and Lough Mask and straddles the borders of County Galway and County Mayo. Fans of the movie will not want to miss the Quiet Man Museum, which was modelled on Sean Thornton’s White O’ Mornin’ cottage from the film, and can take a location tour of the movie. Another notable attraction is Ashford Castle, which was once the home of the Guinness family.
