Bruce and I have just spent a few days in Dublin, which was terrific despite the cold and windy weather – full of serendipitous moments for Locations Geeks!


North Bull Island


It all started off promisingly as we flew in on Thursday, and I was gazing out the plane window at the Poolbeg Generating Station and North Bull Island, both Parked locations. We collected our hire car, checked in to the hotel, and then promptly headed out to North Bull Island.


Which is as good a time as any to thank Aggy and Cuddles for finding so many of these locations for us! Couldn’t have done this without you, girls. ♥


There was a beautiful late–afternoon light there as we arrived, but unfortunately the sun disappeared behind some thick clouds soon after – and the wind off the Irish Sea was bitingly cold – so we really didn’t catch the location at its best! Despite the wind, we walked out along the sea wall to the third bathing shelter, which I am now certain is the one they used when filming. It was such a thrill to be there!



A conveniently beanie–hatted man walks past the bathing shelter. (Actually I was soon wishing I’d taken a beanie myself, as my hair basically looked windswept the entire time we were in Dublin, not to mention strands of it flying past the camera lens whenever I was trying to take a shot!)
