Here we made one of stops on our 1 day tour of Northern Ireland from Belfast ( we had a lunch break at the adjacent Hedges hotel). The Dark Hedges is a very popular tourist attraction, mainly because part of Game Of Thrones was filmed here. The "boulevard" is nice , the surrounding countryside is beautiful, and there are a lot of other tourists like yourselves, wanting to take the photo shot that you are going to take. Nice but not a must.

Apparently brought to fame by Game of Thrones but this was years ago. People who are fans of series were dressing up to react a scene when we were there. Many of the trees are now dead and have been cut down and several more are due to be cut down as they are becoming dangerous. They are about 300 years so they have lasted well. Not as good as I have seen in older photos.

Nice to visit to tick off the Game of Thrones list. We were there when it was very quiet so easy to get a good pic with no one in it. There is a good sized car park that costs £5 well signposted.There is also a cafe there for food and coffee.

A nice walk amongst some really cool trees! It’s not as awe inspiring as the scenes from Game of Thrones, but still beautiful. There were definitely way too many people when we went which made it difficult to get a good photo

Being a photographer this was a must for me. Getting up early and out I arrived literally at daylight and was pleasantly surprised by how long the corridor was. It will be sad to see them go as they started to be trimmed/cut when I was there. A definite must for anyone who appreciates nature

My husband is a big Game of Thrones fan so jumped at the chance to make a stop before Carrick a rede rope bridge. We got a bit lost as couldn’t find the signposted car park so we parked on the verge near the no access road and walked a few minutes up. The trees were there in all their glory. There were people in the distance but we were able to get a perfect photo by standing in front of them so it looked like we were the only ones there! I’ve read the car park was £5 charge so I’m happy we decided to park where we did. Really no need to stay more than 5 minutes to get a few photos. Did enjoy it and glad we made the effort to find it.

Iconic Game of Thrones location. As it was mid January and the road was full of snow, the car park was closed so we only had chance to get a quick stop. Visitors should note the Lane is closed to traffic. Definitely worth a visit though.

Worth a detour if you're driving the Causeway Road. There will be other people there, so get there early before all the tourist buses arrive. You'll still get great photos, especially if you walk further along the hedges. Some of the older trees have been cut down as they have died, but it's lovely to see new ones being planted in their place - the Hedges should still be there in a hundred years. The Hedges Pantry offers a good cafe lunch - we had vegetable barley soup with fresh brown soda bread and a very generous pot of tea, which gave two full mugs. Parking is £5 for the car park - cash or card on exit.

Worth a visit to see these wonderful trees. Short walk from car park (rather expensive at £5 for a quick visit) past a Manor House and across the road to the avenue of trees. Slightly annoying motorbikes riding down the ‘no traffic’ road were a nuisance. Luckily not too many people when we visited but can imagine it can get very busy with Game of Thrones fans.

Although the Dark Hedges are worth a visit do not expect to get that exclusive tourist less photo unless you go early in the am. Note that all the roads around the famous lane have double yellow lines or rocks preventing by the road parking, thus forcing drivers to use the car park set up by the Dark Hedges hotel. Vehicles are banned from driving down the Dark Hedges rd. The hotel therefore has the monopoly on visitors parking which at the time of writing this review is £5. The carpark has barriers which will not let you out even if you don't want to stay. It was full of potholes and 2 inches of mud on our visit . June 24
