This beautiful avenue of beech trees was planted by the Stuart family in the eighteenth century.

It was intended as a compelling landscape feature to impress visitors as they approached the entrance to their Georgian mansion, Gracehill House. Two centuries later, the trees remain a magnificent sight and have become one of the most photographed natural phenomena in Northern Ireland. In fact, the iconic trees have been used as a filming location in HBO’s epic series Game of Thrones®, representing the Kingsroad.

Northern Ireland’s famous Dark Hedges road is to be traffic free from 30 October onwards, following a government order aimed at preserving the natural attraction.

Having been featured as the location for The King’s Road in the HBO fantasy series Game of Thrones, the location has steadily grown in popularity over the past few years, becoming one of the most photographed spots in Northern Ireland. According to the new act put in place by the Department of infrastructure, motorists could be faced with fines of up to £1000 if found driving on the road from November on. The order includes buses and coaches, who will no longer be able to use the designated stretch of the Bregagh Road in County Antrim. However, certain exemptions will be made for emergency and agricultural vehicles operating under special circumstances.

Very popular with wedding photographers and Game of Thrones fans, the Dark Hedges is one of the most photographed places in Northern Ireland.

Since we opted for the Giant’s Causeway tour instead of a Game of Thrones tour on our second day in Northern Ireland, we missed out on a few must see places, such as the Dark Hedges, used as a film location for Game of Thrones.
