A taxi drives through the Dark Hedges despite vehicles being banned from the road

One of Northern Ireland's most famous and fragile natural landmarks is still drawing visitors in the harshest of weather - even though traffic is now banned.

The Dark Hedges in north Antrim has become a massive draw to tourists since it featured in HBO fantasy drama Game of Thrones.

But damage to the road caused by coaches and cars prompted a traffic ban on the road between the haunting trees. However, as our photo shows, many are choosing to flout the rules introduced in October.
