Description:
More grove than forest, this striking arcade of beech trees was actually planted in the 1700s as a landscape feature leading to a Georgian mansion, but it now serves as a solo act, attracting droves of tourists hoping to photograph the spellbinding array. You can almost imagine, upon visiting, being closed in by the trees’ hefty, twisty branches as they come to life in your imagination. The Dark Hedges is so surreal, in fact, that it served as the King’s Road in HBO’s “Game of Thrones.”
