Game of Thrones filming locations
Belfast, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom (UK)
Bregagh Road in County Antrim, (the Kingsroad from King’s Landing)
Last updated: 09 November, 2022
It’s hard to turn a corner in Northern Ireland without stumbling upon a location from the insanely popular TV series Game of Thrones.
From the mythical woodlands that doubled up as the Haunted Forest, to the wave-battered Cushendun Caves (where Melisandre birthed a shadow demon), numerous locations across the country served as the ancient-feeling backdrop to the series.
While some can get crammed with fans (it’s best to visit the Dark Hedges first thing to avoid the crowds), you’ll likely have most of them all to yourself.
