Itinerary

1. Castle Lug

Castle Lug ruins appear on your left - a crumbling 1500s watchtower by Thomas Lugge. Though not a filming location, its lonely stones and sea views feel perfectly suited for the world of Westeros.

Duration: 20 mins

2. Carrickfergus Castle

Carrickfergus Castle stands for 900 years, one of Ireland's best-preserved medieval fortresses. Built in 1177, this Norman stronghold overlooks Belfast Lough and resembles iconic Westeros castles perfectly.

Duration: 20 mins

3. Whiteharbour Marina

Whiteharbour Marina holds 150 years of maritime history. While sharing its name with Westeros's White Harbor, this restored 1850s harbour with limestone archway is purely coincidental but atmospheric.

Duration: 15 mins

4. Magheramorne

Magheramorne Quarry transformed into Castle Black and the Wall. This abandoned limestone quarry became the Night's Watch stronghold using massive sets, green screens, and CGI magic for epic scenes.

Duration: 15 mins

5. Ballygally Beach

Ballygally Beach curves golden along the coast, while Ballygally Castle hotel houses Door of Thrones No. 9, carved from Dark Hedges wood depicting the Battle of the Bastards and direwolves.

Duration: 20 mins

6. Cairncastle

Cairncastle was the first Game of Thrones filming location in Northern Ireland. These rugged hills became Winterfell's exterior for Ned Stark's execution scene in Season 1, Episode 1's opening moments.

Duration: 15 mins

7. Madman's Window

Madman's Window is a natural rock arch with tragic legend. Local lore tells of a heartbroken man waiting for his lost love's return, while nearby White Bay offers serene, turquoise shallows.

Duration: 5 mins

8. Carnlough

Carnlough Beach offers peaceful coastline with soft sand, calm waters, and gentle waves. Fishing boats drift in the harbor while the village nestles quietly at the base of Antrim Glens.

Duration: 15 mins

9. Carnlough Harbour

Carnlough Harbour became Braavos for Arya Stark's desperate escape scene. These stone steps witnessed her emergence from dark waters, wounded but unbroken, in Season 6's most intense survival moment.

Duration: 10 mins

10. Cushendun Caves

Cushendun Caves are carved into cliffs by centuries of waves and wind. Here Melisandre gave birth to her shadow creature, and later Jaime fought Euron in brutal combat for the series.

Duration: 30 mins

11. Ballintoy Harbour

Ballintoy Harbour became Lordsport, Pyke's principal port. These jagged black rocks witnessed Theon's return, his baptism, Euron's drowning rebirth, and Melisandre's mysterious comings and goings.

Duration: 15 mins

12. Dunseverick Castle

Dunseverick Castle ruins cling to clifftops like bones of a long-dead beast. Once a royal Irish seat visited by Saint Patrick, it feels perfectly suited for Ironborn raids and fortress battles.

Duration: 20 mins

13. Giant's Causeway

The Giant's Causeway features 40,000 interlocking basalt columns formed by ancient volcanic activity. Legend says giant Fionn MacCumhaill built this bridge to Scotland to face his rival in combat.

Duration: 20 mins

14. Dunluce Castle

Dunluce Castle clings to basalt cliffs, becoming Pyke in Game of Thrones. These ruins gave soul to House Greyjoy's sea-blasted stronghold where Balon, Euron, and Yara plotted their destinies.

Duration: 15 mins

15. White Rocks Beach

White Rocks Beach glows golden to your right near Portrush. Early Game of Thrones scouts once considered these limestone cliffs for Dornish exteriors before choosing Spain's warmer climate instead.

Duration: 20 mins

16. Portstewart Strand - National Trust

Portstewart Strand became Dorne's coast where Jaime and Bronn fought Dornish guards. These golden sands witnessed steel flashing, waves roaring, and honor colliding with defiance in Season 5.

Duration: 10 mins

17. Mussenden Temple

Mussenden Temple sits 120 feet above the Atlantic, becoming Dragonstone's exterior. Here Stannis drew Lightbringer from flames while Melisandre whispered prophecies on Downhill Beach below the clifftops.

Duration: 30 mins

18. Downhill Beach

Downhill Beach stretches below Mussenden Temple where Melisandre called on her Lord of Light. "For the night is dark and full of terrors" echoed across these dramatic, windswept shores.

Duration: 15 mins

19. The Dark Hedges

The Dark Hedges - your final destination. These 18th-century beech trees became the Kingsroad where Arya fled King's Landing. Walk where she stood in this natural cathedral of shadow and light.

Duration: 30 mins
