Where is The Vanishing Triangle Filmed?
‘The Vanishing Triangle’ is filmed in Ireland, specifically in County Wicklow. According to reports, principal photography for the inaugural iteration of the crime drama series got underway in late September 2022 and continued for more than a couple of months, before wrapping up in December of the same year. So, let’s not waste any time and head right into all the specific locations that make an appearance in the Irish show!
County Wicklow, Ireland
The shooting for a significant portion of ‘The Vanishing Triangle’ was carried out in County Wicklow, one of the 32 traditional counties of Ireland getting its name from the eponymous county town. The production team, particularly, utilizes the locales of the coastal town of Bray, which is situated in the northern part of County Wicklow. The cinematographer, Patrick Jordan, deemed the production process of the series as one of the most challenging ones he has ever been involved with.
Although the shoot for the debut season was quite a mangling rollercoaster ride for him, Patrick did not forget to mention that it was a great experience nonetheless, with lots of “great times and laughs along the way.” He even thanked the rest of the cast and crew as he got to learn a lot from them during the shoot, especially the ones he worked with on a daily basis. Moreover, the cast and crew take the production south of Bray, to the coastal town and seaside resort of Greystones. Surrounded by different landscapes, Greystones is bordered by the Irish Sea, the Wicklow Mountains, and Bray Head, with the natural features making quite a few appearances in the backdrop of several scenes.
The filming unit even traveled a bit out of County Wicklow, to the north and off the mainland to Dalkey Island. The open water and other surrounding areas of the uninhabited island were considered significant sites of pilgrimage for various centuries. The waters surrounding the island are used as a spot for sailing, fishing, angling, and diving. Apart from ‘The Vanishing Triangle,’ County Wicklow’s locales have been featured in numerous productions over the years, such as ‘In the Name of the Father,’ ‘The Great Train Robbery,’ and ‘The General.’
