Northern Ireland

Whenever we go on holiday within the UK we try to visit new National Trust locations to make the most of our membership. We were already aware of Castle Ward’s connection to Game of Thrones before the visit. Castle Ward was where the Winterfell scenes were filmed, most noticeably the Starks welcoming the Baratheons way back in season one, and that infamous push by Jaime Lannister. We had already visited the Game of Thrones Touring Exhibition in Belfast and The Dark Hedges (another filming location) so we were excited to add another to our list.
