If you watch Game of Thrones and ever wondered where on earth Winterfell or King’s Landing really was – or, perhaps if you could visit some of these places in real life, here’s your chance. The Road from King’s Landing, pictured above, is in Ballymoney, Northern Ireland. This magnificent avenue of beech trees was planted by the Stuart family in the 18th century, and was intended as a compelling landscape feature to impress visitors as they approached the entrance to their home, Gracehill House. Two centuries later, the trees are still quite an impressive sight.
