Pictured is Glanquin House, also known as the "Parochial House" from the series Father Ted. Glanquin House is a private residence with a rich history.
In 1993, the house was chosen by the location manager of the sitcom Father Ted as the outdoor location for the fictional "Parochial House" on Craggy Island. Although all indoor scenes were filmed in a studio in London, the exterior has become world-famous. What is now known as Glanquin Farmhouse was once the location for one of the best Irish series ever seen on television.
The house stands in the heart of The Burren, known for its vast karst landscape of limestone slabs (pavements), which have an almost otherworldly, barren appearance.
