abstract:Ardmore Studios, located in Bray, County Wicklow, is Ireland’s only four wall studio. Opened in 1958 under the management of Emmet Dalton by then Minister for Industry and Commerce Seán Lemass, the studio has evolved through many management changes, finally consolidating in the 1990s. It has been the base for many successful Irish and international productions, from The Spy Who Came in from the Cold to Braveheart, My Left Foot and Veronica Guerin.
Only a mile or so from here is Ireland's busiest film stage location ArdmoreStudios, so it was a no-brainer that Kilruddery became the outdoor location for a host of Irish-shot films such as Far and away, My Left Foot, The Magnificent Ambersons and Aristocrats.
