Craggy Island

Craggy Island is a fictional island off the west coast of Ireland and is used as the principal external setting for Father Ted in the television series of the same name.

Craggy Island is an unpleasant place, not to be found on any map; the residents believe maps are more the area of flashy cities such as New York. It has only a North, South and East side, the West side of the island having broken off in a storm. However, Ted assures visitors that it was lovely.

The island is populated by many eccentrics and its only places of interest are The Holy Stone of Clonrichert, which is basically a small rock on a pedestal, and The Field. Actually, The Field is not really a field, but it has less rocks in it than most places. Some claim the island itself is a bit of a landmark, as sailors use it as a directional point, the general rule being that if you're going away from it, you're going in the right direction. The sea around is also a dumping ground for nuclear waste.

The Field hosts the annual Fun Festival, which contains such frolics as the Crane of Death (a park bench on a crane, so called because someone died on it), the Spinning Cat (a cat on a record turntable), Freak Pointing, Goading the Fearsome Man, Duck Startling, The Ladder (a ladder) and The Whirley-go-Round.

Its neighbouring island is the eerily similar Rugged Island.

(The actual parochial house used in the series is on the mainland in County Clare, near Lisdoonvarna.)

A map of the island appeared in the episode Night of the Nearly Dead, when a middle-aged woman contacted people about pop-star Eoin's visit to the Pariochial House , even though it was meant to be a secret.
