We take you to the mysterious Dark Hedges, an avenue of serpentine beech trees through which Arya and Gendry escaped King’s Landing, the Iron Islands beach where Theon dedicated his faith to the Drowned God, the breathtaking Giant’s Causeway and the Stormlands cave where Melisandre gave birth to a dark spirit.
Our guides were all extras in Game of Thrones®.
We carry Iron Born costumes, metal props and Greyjoy banners in the trunk of the coach which we offer to customers at the location of Lordsport on Pyke island. What is dead may never die!
