About The Dark Hedges
Co. Antrim
The Dark Hedges is a stunning avenue of beech trees that creates a mystical, tunnel-like effect. Planted in the 18th century by the Stuart family, the trees have become an iconic natural landmark, especially after being featured in the television series Game of Thrones as the Kingsroad. The trees’ gnarled branches form a dramatic canopy, making it a popular spot for photographers and those seeking a surreal and atmospheric experience. While the trees continue to draw crowds, some of them have been damaged over the years, but conservation efforts are in place to protect this iconic site.
