However, Northern Ireland locations have enjoyed a starring role in many other TV dramas and comedies such as Line of Duty, Derry Girls, and The Fall as well as big-budget movies like Miss Julie, Good Vibrations, Philomena and The Lost City of Z. There are also lots of immersive experiences and tours to choose from, so fans can get even more of their filmic fix.
In County Londonderry, Downhill Beach and Mussenden Temple feature as Dragonstone locations, while in County Fermanagh, Pollnagollum Cave became the fictional Hollow Hill secret hideout. County Antrim has Cushendun Caves which appear as a Stormlands cove and, of course, the world famous Dark Hedges double as the Kingsroad. In County Down, you have Castle Ward Estate (Winterfell) and Tollymore Forest Park (the Haunted Forest). But, serious fan or not, the locations are worth visiting in their own right. Unless you have been living under a rock, you will know that Northern Ireland is heaven for Game of Thrones® fans with real-life Westeros locations dotted everywhere. Buckets more for Thronies, bingers and buffs George’s room has been restored to how it would have looked in the 1950s with items of memorabilia from his childhood and youth. Or for sheer quirkiness, you could stay in football legend George Best’s family terraced house. This stunning, nine-course recreation of the dinner served to the ship’s First-Class passengers is served in a period dining room and is as opulent as you can imagine. While we’re on the subject, the 5* Victorian elegance of Rayanne House just outside the city has achieved global fame for its Titanic Menu event. You’ll start on the city side of the river and follow the historic trail from Sailortown and St Joseph's Church to Clarendon Buildings, passing key sites including the dry and wet docks, the Salmon of Knowledge (known locally as "the big fish"), the SS Nomadic, Titanic Belfast, the Great Light, and Thompson Dock which is the 415ft long dry dock where RMS Titanic was fitted out. Walk along the Maritime Mile to explore Belfast's seafaring history on this waterfront trail connecting key attractions along both sides of the River Lagan. You’ve got everything here from World Heritage sites to paradise for walkers and climbers real-world Game of Thrones® locations to scenery that inspired Narnia you can stand in the spot where Titanic set out or sleep in the house where George Best grew up. So, bring your bucket list, and a few spare pens. There’s nowhere quite like Northern Ireland if you love a good bucket list. Or a great one, for that matter.
