Welcome To The Quiet Man Movie Club

On behalf of the officers and committee of the Official Quiet Man Movie Club I want to extend to you a warm welcome to our website. This site will act as a friendly meeting place for all who are interested in this wonderful movie, a place where they can share their views with other Quiet Man fans, and also learn of the many exciting pieces of new information which surface from time to time.

We welcome your ideas for new activities - for example, we are currently pursuing plans to have a version of the Quiet Man in the Irish language and many of us feel that it is high time the the lovely Maureen O'Hara was awarded an honorary Academy Award for her contribution to the Motion Picture Industry. We plan to give you details of our annual Quiet Man Conference, held in 2010 in Ashford Castle, where much of the film was shot. Remember it is your website, and we plan to meet your needs--we will have news of new publications, quizzes, hitherto unseen pictures of the shooting, in fact anything that will enhance your enjoyment and appreciation of our favourite movie.

So please don't hesitate to contact

Location Tours

Ireland tours of The Inisfree Experience for all Quiet Man movie fans.

The Inisfree Experience is a guided tour service through Quiet Man Country, stopping off at the following locations:

* Castletown and Inisfree locations
* Castletown Railway Station
* Danaghers House & Farm Yard
* The Quiet Man Bridge
* Lettergesh Beach (location for Race Scene)
* Ashford Castle
* Pat Cohan's Bar

You can arrange a full or half day tour of Inisfree to suit your needs - this is a tour that's all about what you'd like to see and do! We can collect you from any National or Regional Airport in Ireland and help you find accommodation if you haven't already booked it, with our nationwide chauffeur service.

This is a great opportunity for the real Quiet Man Fan to take in the beauty of Connemara as it is today and to imagine it as it was when the film was shot over fifty years ago. But for the cleverness of John Ford and his ability as a director to capture and exploit the beauty that he saw with the help of his friend Lord Killanin, not forgetting mother nature of course these locations would now be gone and lost forever. On your tour you will visit most of the locations used in the film and you will get an opportunity to stand where the stars stood over fifty years ago and you can even become Mary Kate, Sean Thornton or Michilín for a short moment in time.

Please see www.inisfreeexperience.com for more details on this tour.
