The Field
Ireland
John B Keane's epic tale of Bull McCabe's struggle on an off the land (based on local folklore around Keane's native North Kerry). Richard Harris, Brenda Frick and Sean bean (supported by a believably gormless John Hurt) provided a star studded cast to more than do justice to the story of land, loss, revenge, family struggles and of course drink.
Filmed on location in Galway, around Leenane, along the Clifden Road, the scenery is the unsaid star of the show.
You can retrace the steps of that bloody battle across the bridge near Leenane, drive on out the road to Lousiburgh via Delphi and marvel at the deep lakes, ravines, wild mountain streams and barren rock, a memorable trip in both winter and summer. Nearby hotels include Ashford Castle and Rosleague Manor.
