Cong, Ireland – Pierce Brosnan

There's a tiny village in western Ireland that straddles the borders of County Galway and County Mayo, called Cong. It may seem unassuming at first glance, but it's home to the famous Ashford Castle, a 13th-century palace turned resort that has become a favorite site for relaxation and comfort for the likes of Pierce Brosnan, John Travolta and Barbra Streisand. It's romantic, luxurious, and offers guests an abundance of activities to enjoy, including golf, equestrian, falconry and trail walking. Inset photo © wenn.com/KEYSTONEPress
