The Dark Hedges is easily one of the most beautiful avenues of trees in the world. When visitors see it as the Kingsroad outside King's Landing in Game of Thrones, people believe that there is no way such a collection of beautiful twisting branches could be a real place, but it is. The Dark Hedges, an avenue of Beech trees, was planted in the 18th century to impress visitors heading towards the Gracehill House outside Ballymoney. While featured several times in the show, the most memorable is at the end of Season One where Arya, Yoren, Gendry and Hot Pie are all leaving the city on their way to join the Night's Watch.
