The real-life locations for Game Of Thrones

Stunning locations where TV’s smash hit swords and sorcery show is filmed

There are actually very few people who haven’t heard about the Game of Thrones, the American fantasy-drama television series, based on A Song of Ice and Fire novels written by George R. R. Martin. The story follows nine noble families who fight for control of the mythical land of Westeros. But though the plot is set in a fictional world, the locations where the series is filmed are real-life ones. From Northern Ireland to Malta, Croatia, Morocco and Iceland the settings of ice and fire have become popular places to visit with the cult programme’s fans.

The following photos have recently been published on the  Daily Mail:

The beech tree lined road is known as the Dark Hedges to locals near Stanocum in County Antrim, Northern Ireland.


 But to fans of Game of Thrones it will be more recognisable as the Kings Road and the Dark Hedges of Armoy.


 The Stangford Castle Ward Estate and the Castle Ward tower stands proudly in County Down, Northern Ireland.

In Game of Thrones the castle towers are transformed into Winterfell, where the head of House Stark rules over his people.


The limestone Azure Window, in Gozo, Malta, was used for filming in the first season.


The archway provided the backdrop for Daenerys and Khal Drogo’s wedding in season one of Game of Thrones.


The Minceta Tower and fortification is a UNESCO World Heritage site on the Dalmatian Coast in Dubrovnik.


The House of the Undying, the site of the season two finale, was the real-life Minceta Tower.


The Ounila River and the red citadel of Ait-Ben-Haddou in Morocco impressed the Game of Thrones producers.



It provided the setting for the fictional city of Yunkai, featured in the third season of the Game of Thrones.


For the icy scenes, programme makers favoured the Hverfjall volcano in the Lake Myvatin region of Northern Iceland.



It is also recognisable as the Beyond the Wall area, the large area of Westeros in the hit show.
