Those are wonderful pictures! I feel like we're right there with you - thanks for sharing!

Just watched this on YT - I'm assuming from a drone camera - of what's left of the White O'Morn cottage and the property around it.

As many of you may be aware from reading the Duke's Movie Locations - Ireland forum, the cottage used in The Quiet Man, White O'Morn, is in a terrible state of disrepair.

There is a concerted, organized effort (spearheaded by our good friend Mike Ward in Ireland) to Save the Quiet Man Cottage. I'm sure many of you will be very interested in this project. He also has a group on Facebook of the same name, for those of you on FB.

We want to encourage everyone to see what they can do to make this happen!

Maureen O'Hara will be visiting Cong village at the end of this month, to launch what is hoped to become an annual event there.[/SIZE]

Amazing how fast the stone walls deteriorated in ten years. And look at that . . . a fancy new house just 50 yards away.

Keith.
Great job of presenting the photos and dialogue. Hopefully this fellow "Californian" will one day see the light, and the reconstruction can begin.

Here's another web site with an article on TQM tourist locations - very good! A couple of paragraphs in the middle specifically discuss the White O Morn cottage.

The cottage where sean thorton and mary kate lived in is in ruins.

I'll say! I've found a picture of it, at this web site.

Ringo,
Thank you for the update, how far away from Cong is Waterford?
