These curves are situated just beyond the beautiful coastal town of Cushendun in the county of Antrim in Northern Ireland. They are located on a beach off the Glendun and Glencorp valleys.

It is the cave where Melisandre gives birth to this “Creature of Shadows“, before the astonished presence of Ser Davos.

5) The Dark Hedges

This impressive beech path was planted in the 18th century by the Stuart family. It was intended to impress visitors approaching the entrance to their Georgian mansion, Gracehill House. But what the Stuart did not take into account is that they planted too many beeches and very close to each other, which caused nature, over time, to make them grow as a whole towards the sun, creating a kind of tunnel with a vegetal vault that turns this road into one of the most beautiful in the world.

This tree-lined promenade has been used as the setting for the Throne Play series, and represents the King’s Way.

6) Shillanavogy Valley
