Wild Atlantic Stories

If you’re feeling sick of Valentine’s Day clichés and want the antithesis of a romantic film to watch, we’re here for you. We’ve put together a list of definitely not romantic films (where possible, we’ve gone for grim!) that were filmed in Connemara. 

It’s that time of year when love is in the air, and we’ve put together a list of romantic movies filmed in Connemara. From classic Hollywood love stories to modern romantic comedies, these movies showcase some of the most beautiful filming locations along Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way.

If you’ve ever wandered through Connemara, you’ve probably seen it, deep green stones polished into jewellery, ornaments, or decorative pieces. Connemara marble is one of Ireland’s most unique natural treasures, and its story is as fascinating as the landscapes it comes from.

The clichés are true…the weather can be quite unpredictable in the west of Ireland. But we never let it stop us from having a great time, and indeed the misty mornings and rainswept afternoons are a huge part of the charm of Connemara!

Here are our suggestions for a great way to pass the day, even if it is raining.
