Dark Hedges, Tree avenue in County Antrim, Northern Ireland.

Two rows of beech trees create a natural tunnel along Bregagh Road, with branches intertwining to form an arched canopy overhead.

The Stuart family planted over 150 beech trees in 1775 to create an entrance road leading to their Gracehill House estate.

This tree-lined road gained international recognition after appearing as the King's Road in the television series Game of Thrones.

Visitors need to park at Gracehill House and walk to the site, as vehicle access is restricted to protect the tree roots.

Local folklore speaks of a Grey Lady who appears at dusk, moving between the trees on this centuries-old avenue.
