Ireland Day 11 The Giant's Causeway with Game of Thrones

Kings and knights, crowns and swords, dragons and ghosts- then add a compelling story, surprising elements (where you turn to each other in disbelief) and characters that bring out all kinds of emotions in you.  So yes, we are fans of Game of Thrones (GOT).
How could we go to this area without having a glimpse of some of the location scenes?

The Dark Hedges are on a quiet road near the town of Ballymoney in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. It is lined with beech trees and twisted branches form an arch over the road.  It makes for impressive photographs and is one of the most photographed places in Northern Ireland.

The Giant's Causeway

The Giant's Causeway is an area of about 40,000 interlocking basalt columns which tumble down into the Atlantic Ocean.  It is  the result of an ancient volcanic fissure eruption and is located in County Antrim on the north coast of Northern Ireland.  
The legend goes as follows -  Fionn mac Cumhaill (Finn McCool) was an Irish giant who picked a fight with a Scottish big man Benandonner.  The giants loathed each other. And so one day after enduring insults from Benandonner, Fionn built a path to use as stepping-stones to reach Scotland, which was then ripped up by Benandonner. The result was the Giant’s Causeway.

It’s incredible!
