Nestled between Lough Corrib and Lough Mask, Cong in County Mayo is a village shaped by water, faith, and folklore.
In this episode of Whispering Stones, artist and writer Bernice Cooke explores Cong’s layered history — from its 12th-century abbey and the exquisite Cross of Cong, to its links with Ireland’s last High King, underground rivers, Oscar Wilde’s family, and Hollywood’s The Quiet Man.
A short, atmospheric journey through one of Ireland’s most enchanting villages, where medieval stones and modern stories quietly intertwine.
