You can actually visit every spot. No movie magic required. Just a raincoat and a map. Walk where Gerry delivered his first letter. Sit in Whelan’s and wonder why no one brings you a rhubarb tart.
Fun fact: The bridge where Holly kisses Gerry in a flashback? That’s the Ha’penny Bridge. It’s a famous Dublin landmark. Locals call it the “Half Penny Bridge.” Tourists call it “That place where I sobbed.”
Another fun fact: The fishing scene was filmed at Lake District in England, not Ireland. Oops. The movie lied. But it’s okay because the lake is gorgeous.
The Takeaway
PS I Love You is a love letter to Ireland. It’s a map for the brokenhearted. You can follow it from Dublin’s cozy pubs to Wicklow’s misty peaks. Just bring tissues.
And if you bump into a man reading a letter on a hill? Don’t interrupt. He’s probably filming his own sequel. He might be Scottish, though. He’s not Gerry.
Now go. Book the flight. Pack a rain jacket. And practice your Irish accent. “T’anks fer the guid time, Gerry.” You’re welcome.
