The Dark Hedges is a quiet road near the
town of Ballymoney in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. Lined with beech trees
twisted branches forming an arch over the road it makes for impressive
photographs indeed. However, over the last year or so, the trees branches have
been pruned and the tunnel is just a little less impressive.
The Dark Hedges might possibly be the
most beautiful avenue of beech trees in the world. Planted by the Stuart family
in the eighteenth century to impress visitors as they approached the entrance
to their Georgian mansion (Gracehill House), they still do the job very well.
Doubling up as the Kingsroad, north of King's Landing, it was here that Arya
escapes from the city disguised as a boy, with Yoren, Gendry, Hot Pie and
others destined for the Night's Watch. Head north on the Bregagh Road in
Ballymoney to see them for yourself.
