Seen here are Northern Ireland’s famous ‘Dark Hedges‘, a magnificent avenue of beech trees that were planted over 200 years ago by the Stuart family. According to locals, the road 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 remain a magnificent sight.The trees can be found along a section of Bregagh Road, about 80 kilometres from Belfast off Antrim Coastal Road. You can see it on Google Maps street view here: (http://bit.ly/1LiK0jA). You may also recognize the Dark Hedges from a scene on Game of Thrones where it doubled as the King’s Road.-JeanPhoto by Giuseppe Milo: https://www.facebook.com/giuseppemilophoto -- source link
