JOURNEY OF DOORS PASSPORT Experience Northern Ireland Game of Thrones® territory and discover the Doors which tell the story of Season 6. As you visit each door use this souvenir passport to collect your 10 unique stamps. The Dark Hedges is a beautiful avenue of eighteenth century beech trees that were planted by the Stuart family to impress visitors as they approached the entrance to the Stuart residence, Gracehill House. Over two centuries later both the house and the stunning trees remain. Used as a backdrop for Kingsroad they have now become an iconic site. In January 2016 a storm swept the island bringing down some of these famous trees. The wood from the fallen trees was salvaged and transformed into unique works of art in the form of 10 intricately crafted doors. Using iconic symbols and key scenes from the show, the doors work together to tell the tale of Season 6. The craftsmanship used to carve these doors is almost as breathtaking as Game of Thrones® itself (almost!). With the culmination of Season 6 the doors have formed a Game of Thrones® trail connecting 10 pubs and restaurants with filming locations across Northern Ireland – so if you come across a door, you’ll know you’re in Game of Thrones ® territory. To help you navigate your way around Northern Ireland to the 10 doors and the accessible filming locations from the show, download the Game of Thrones® Filming Locations Northern Ireland app, available for Apple and Android. Look for this app icon in the store.
