Scenes from the 1970 film Ryan’s Daughter were shot at Coumeenole Beach (Trá Com Dhíneol) and on the Ceathrú (Ferritersquarter) in Dunquin. Kruger’s Bar was also feartured in the Film. The area’s then struggling economy was largely revived by the production of the film. Remains of the schoolhouse built for the film can still be seen near the Blasket Island Centre. Ron Howard filmed the village scenes from Far and Away 1992 in An Ghráig beside Clogher Head (Ceann Sratha). More recently Dunmore Head’s craggy coastline made an ideal place to hide Luke Skywalker’s X-wing featured in Star Wars and for the green milk scene on Ahch-To. Film Locations
