County Antrim, Northern Ireland

Dark Hedges

The Dark Hedges is an avenue of beech trees along Bregagh Road between Armoy and Stranocum in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The trees form an atmospheric tunnel that has been used as a location in HBO's popular television series Game of Thrones, which has resulted in the avenue becoming a popular tourist attraction.

In about 1775 James Stuart built a new house, named Gracehill House after his wife Grace Lynd. Over 150 beech trees were planted along the entrance road to the estate, to create an imposing approach.

A stunning capture. I almost feel as though i am walking through the avenue of trees.

Thank you very much, Hal, Elaine, and Terry! This was a fun place to shoot at in Northern Ireland! --Jim--

The trees take on a very interesting pattern, like tentacles. The small splashes of colour add interest. As Hal said, well seen. A great shot, Jim.

Wha a superbly seen image, Jim. Most unusual and definitely a winning image.
