Burren

BURREN
 
Father Ted’s house
Location: The actual parochial house used in the series is on the mainland in County Clare, near Lisdoonvarna. Drive south-east from Lisdoonvarna to Kilfenora and follow the road onwards to the tiny town of Kilnaboy. Once in the town, look for the left turn for the school (it's the only junction in town). Follow this road for a couple of miles. It is a very narrow secluded road, but all of a sudden you will emerge from the greenery to the sight of the Parochial House(in real life McCormack's at Glenquin).                            
Parking: Down the street.
