    The island itself is one of the ones off the Cliffs of Moher.

    The Post Office is a house in Portrane, Co.Dublin. Used to be a bookmakers, its right beside the local chippers and the (only Blue Flag in Dublin...) beach.

    Much of the 1st episode was shot in Portrane/Donabate, the fair was shot at the car park near the Martelo Tower in Portrane (what locals refer to as the Tower, theres also access to a lovely small beach from there)

    The Caravan park is in a town called Fanore in Clare- take the coast road from Lisdonvarna to Ballyvaghaun, it's about halfway along. The Ailwee caves are in teh Ailwee caves- well worth a visit.

    T'would appear I am wrong.

    The FAQ posted above says Funland was filmed in Laytown County Meath.

    Oh well, at least we got a Jason Donovan film...
