yes this place is wellworth the trip any time of the year, these trees are over 200 years old and planted by the Stuart family to impress vistors coming to their house, which was Gracehill, well after all this time their still making a huge impression. Then pop into the restaurant down the road for a spot of lunch, lovely
The Dark Hedges were very cool and are absolutely worth a visit. They are on the way to plenty of other attractions on the North Coast and only take 10 minutes of your time. I walked down the road and took it all in - luckily there weren't many cars passing through so you could walk in the middle and enjoy the cave-like feeling. And the photos you can get are spectacular.
Beautiful, enchanting and worth visiting. My partner wanted to see them due to Game of Thrones. I loved them stunning. Able to drive along road
This road was used as 'the King's Road' on Game of Thrones and as such has become even more popular than before. We travelled inland from Bushmills about 10 miles on country roads and found the Dark Hedges without too much difficulty. There is a hotel at the end of the road, so an infrastructure is developing. At the moment all there is to do for the visitor is drive up and down, marvelling at the beautiful beech trees planted by the Stuart family over 200 years ago. I am glad I have been to see them. This unusual drive adds to the wide range of natural beauty in the area.
For non Game of Thrones fans ( and possibly including some fans), this is simply a road with interesting trees. I'm a massive GoT fan so I was happy we just happened to be staying nearby. I think even if you aren't a fan of the show it's still a visually amazing spot to see - perfectly creepy in winter fog & I'd imagine perfectly beautiful in full bloom. My visiting American in-laws thought it pretty cool too.
We went to see this on our recent trip, of course a must do for any GoT fan, but a very strange but beautiful place.
The 'dark hedges' are well worth a visit if in Northern Ireland. Our GPS was totally baffled by the location so we were able to visit much of the nearby countryside (beautiful by itself) before finding this spectacular, but short, country road lined with giant trees. Very cool.
I was envisioning this being a longer area. It was very different than anything I have ever seen. Unique - great for photographers!
Opportunity to take some wonderful photos. Strangely beautiful and will look completely different at different times of the year.
I must say I wasn't really bothered about going to see the dark hedges, but when we got there and I saw the sun shining through the branches I was amazed!! Truly beautiful!! It isn't well signposted, but can be found on google maps under bregagh road
