Filming locations


Does anyone know where the scenes were filmed? i know the city scenes are in Dublin, but once they leave Dublin? what county(s) is is filmed in?

From my knowledge and memory of Ireland, (I'm an Irish lad now living in Australia), the scenes in the country are from various places, not all relating to where they are meant to be in the story. For instance, the Powerscourt waterfall, (which is in Co. Wicklow, near the east coast) is depicted later in the story when they should be further west. Certainly the mountain at Powerscourt, (a very distinctive pointed shape, one to be recognised whenever you see it), is depicted in one scene when the boys are supposed to be already in the west.

One scene with the boys on the horse among the mountains, with the heather a reddish orange colour, I think I recognise the mountains as being those in Connemarra in Co Galway. You would see the spot looking east from the road from Cliften to Leenane. Presumeably the beach scenes are also in the same area.

Sorry that's the best I can do.

Its filmed in DUBLIN, WICKLOW (ardmore studios), Louth and the beach scene in the end is in GALWAY i think

There were also scenes filmed in Portarlington, Co. Laois.


Well, when you're married you'll understand the importance of fresh produce.
