Ballykissangel Avoca Self Catering Cottage to Rent

Ballykissangel Cottage

Ballykissangel was a BBC television drama set in Ireland, produced by BBC Northern Ireland. It was filmed in the pretty village of Avoca. The village of Avoca is a popular visitor attraction for those staying in our Wicklow self catering cottage in Aughavannagh.

Ballykissangel starred amongst others Dervla Kirwan, Stephen Tompkinson, Tony Doyle and Colin Farrell. The original story revolved around a young English priest as he became part of a rural community in County Wicklow. It ran for six series, which were first broadcast on BBC One in Britain from 1996 to 2001. It aired in the Republic of Ireland on RTE One and in Australia on ABC TV between 1996 and 2001. Reruns currently air on ITV3 in Britain and in the United States on some PBS affiliates. Our lovely Wicklow cottage to rent is about 30 minutes from Avoca via the equally pretty village of Aughrim.
