Waking Ned Devine was filmed on the Isle of Man, even though the story is set in a small Irish village.

Most of the movie’s village and coastal scenes were shot around these real places on the Isle of Man:

  • Cregneash – used as the main village standing in for the fictional Tullymore.
  • Niarbyl (near Dalby) – location of Ned Devine’s clifftop cottage and nearby beach.
  • Glen Maye – used for scenic rural and coastal shots.
  • Marine Drive, Douglas – featured for some road and landscape views.
  • General west-coast coastline between Fleshwick Bay and Niarbyl – used for rugged shore scenes.

Filming took place mainly between August 11 and September 20, 1997.
