Dark Hedges is a stunning – and rather magical – parade of beech trees to be found in Northern Ireland and brought to general attention by its use as a location in the TV series Game of Thrones.

This dark avenue of gnarled trees was planted in 1775 as the entrance to a grand house. Its fame as a TV location means that today it’s a tourist attraction. It’s easily reached from Belfast – see the map below.

This mystical avenue is, of course, said to host various ghosts and ghouls – adding spookiness and mystery in abundance.

The area is protected by the authorities who are concerned that the increase in tourist activity could have a damaging effect on the trees.

Travellers visiting the location will most likely have a less harmful impact on the area if they travel as part of a guided tour. Starting at about $35 per person, there are many to choose from. FIND OUT MORE HERE.
