Unique tree formation

One of the most photographed locations

The Dark Hedges is a beautiful avenue of beech trees that line the Bregagh Road near the village of Armoy in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The trees were planted in the 18th century by the Stuart family, who owned the nearby Gracehill House. The Dark Hedges has become a popular tourist attraction and has been used as a filming location in several movies and TV shows, including Game of Thrones. The road is closed to vehicles in the evenings during the tourist season to allow visitors to walk along the avenue and take photos.
