The synopsis for the movie reads: “Jenna and Charlie found love in Ireland but their dreams drove them apart. Five years later, they reunite and Jenna has to decide where her heart belongs—back home or in the Emerald Isle.”
‘Forever in My Heart’ Was Really Filmed in Ireland
Forever in My Heart takes place in Ireland and it was filmed on location there, too.
Wow, the Ireland scenery in this movie 😍😍😍😍 #ForeverInMyHeart
Turner told My Devotional Thoughts that this was quite convenient for him since he’s a UK citizen. “One of the producers mentioned it to me last year, so the movie has been in the works for a bit. He said there would be a film shooting in Ireland, and it was convenient because as a UK citizen I’m able to work there without any restrictions (For now at least, but let’s not get into that mess #nobrexit lol!). I was really excited to work in Ireland, and they brought me on board about a month prior to shooting. At that time, I didn’t know much about the film, but when I learned my character was a musician, I got really excited. Music is one of my true loves. It really drew me to the character and the film.”
He added that the location is a “character in itself” in the movie. “You can feel the passion and heart of the Irish in their land somehow. It’s hard to describe, but when you’re there, you definitely feel it. It is such a beautiful country, from the coastline, to the country, to the mountains. Wonderful.”
He told My Devotional Thoughts that one of the places where they filmed was the Guinness Estates.
Guiness Estate is a great place to visit. Jupiter Magazine shared that it provides tourists with a fun opportunity to stay in a real castle: Ashford Castle in County Mayo, Ireland.
Red Carnation Hotels restored the Ashford Castle, which can now be enjoyed by tourists.
Filming was done in July and August. Look how beautiful these behind-the-scenes photos look, provided on Instagram by Merritt Patterson.
And here she is in Wicklow, Ireland.
This next photo is taken at Powerscourt Estate, House & Gardens in Wicklow, Ireland. The Powerscourt Estate was also the filming location for some external scenes and a waterfall scene in Hallmark’s movie Honeymoon for One starring Nicollette Sheridan.
And the Cliffs of Moher.
This photo was taken in Dun Laoghaire, Dublin, Ireland.
Meanwhile, Turner tagged his Instagram photo as being taken in Dalkey, Ireland. Dalkey is a suburb of Dublin and a seaside resort area.
According to Turner’s Instagram posts, the last day of filming was in Bray, Ireland. Bray is a coastal town in north County Wicklow.
