Visit Ireland's West Coast and Game of Thrones attractions including Dark Hedges
Starting from our base in Trim, we ride along the Wild Atlantic Way and then continue along the North Antrim Coast to include many of the Game of Thrones® Doors and filming locations.
In January 2016, the Game of Thrones® filming location known as the Dark Hedges, or Kingsroad to the people of Westeros, was battered by storm Gertrude.
The wood from two trees that fell that day were carved into 10 intricately designed pub doors, each one telling the story of an episode in Game of Thrones® season 6.
From Cairncastle to the Glens of Antrim, via the Dark Hedges and Cushendun Caves, each door is within reach of a different filming location in Northern Ireland. This trail around Game of Thrones® Territory is a piece of cultural heritage in the making.
We have included one rest day in Ballintoy, Northern Ireland. (Subject to availability)
We have selected riding routes with an emphasis on scenery and being off the beaten path. Of course the choice is yours, but you will have an option to shorten the day’s ride should you wish to arrive at your destination earlier.
This tour is independently run by Lemonrock Bike Tours. It is not sponsored, endorsed or affiliated with HBO or anyone associated with Game of Thrones®.

Day 9 – Strangford to Trim, Co. Meath
Our ride today is shorter allowing you plenty of time for a relaxed start and riding down around Carlingford Lough and into Co. Louth.
If you like, you can ride to Newcastle, home to The Percy French, yet another home of the Door from Game of Thrones®.
As you ride through Ireland’s Ancient East, you may have time to stop off at Newgrange Visitors Centre and learn about the passage tombs which dates back to 3200BC . These need to be pre-booked.
Alternatively, a stop at Slane Castle in Co. Meath is well worthwhile for a relaxing lunch and you can also take a tour of the Castle while you are there to get a glimpse of how the other half live!
Our final stop is in Trim, Co. Meath, a heritage town and home to St. John’s Castle, the largest Norman Castle in the British Isles, and which was the filming location of Braveheart – well worth a visit.
