We drove in to Cong. This is the village were John Ford's "the Quiet Man" was filmed with John Wayne in the '50s. The village is lovely but very touristy, and being tourists we had a wander around. We saw the pub - "Over here its pronounced Co - Han" - but decided against the Quiet Man tours and just went to the abbey and then a stroll. We got turned round and missed the trail and ended up at Ashford castle. After a walk around the grounds we headed back t the car and made our way into Clonbur with the promise of another nice walk and then a good meal.
after a bit of a struggle to find the start of the trail we headed off and ended up at a neat ruined keep.Since by this point we had walked about a mile and a half and still had to go back for dinner we turned back to the car and went to eat.
Once back at the cottage we decided that tomorrow would be the Aran islands...
