You can also follow the 22-mile Mourne Wall, featured in Game of Thrones. And if you’re a fan of the hit HBO show, you can’t afford to miss a trip to the Dark Hedges. This twisted avenue of light and shade is one of Northern Ireland’s most photographed natural phenomena, and doubles as the King’s Road in the series.

“I’d always heard about how beautiful the landscape was in Northern Ireland, but I never imagined it would be so close to University that I could almost reach out and touch it. Expect a breathtaking sight at every turn, whether it be mountains, beaches or forests. What made me fall in love with Northern Ireland even more is the fact that you don’t have to go very far to indulge in some green space. The Botanic Gardens, the towpath along the Lagan River, and the parks in the city are all walking distance from campus. Belfast was the perfect choice of city for me: it is small enough to feel like home, but big enough to hold a new adventure every day.” Farah Hamdan BSc Environmental Management, The Giant’s Causeway from Lebanon
