Cong











Cong derives its name from the Irish Cuanng meanning neck and it lies directly between, to large lakes, in East Co . Mayo ... It is near The shrine at Knock so we stayed there as it has an old abbey worth visiting, lastly look closely at the square at the end of an otherwise small town, cong also has the distinction of being the location for the Quite Man film, this is the square outside the pub where the brawl ended.... The Abbey is better, as it is near complete for a 12th century structure. The small hut over the river is a fishing hut used by the monks to collect salmon and trout a main staple of the monks here, The river also showed in the fil as the abbey and river side where feature in many scenes.
