It was called Famous Game of Thrones Landmark Felled 由 Storm Gertrude
Here's some stuff I remembered seeing:
It’s funny to think of places in magical fantasy kingdoms having real life counterparts. But for a show like
, which is filmed on location all over Europe, it’s a fact of life. There are areas in Croatia, Spain, and Ireland that proudly bill themselves to tourists as different locations in Westeros. And one of the most famous is the copse of trees that has stood in as the place where the King’s Road meets King’s Landing.
This location was already well-known locally as the Dark Hedges, located in County Antrim, Northern Ireland (where several Westeros locations are filmed.) But last night, the extreme weather event known as Storm Gertrude took it down. The storm, which had ripped through Ireland and Scotland in the last few days with 90 mph winds, caused massive power losses in the Scottish Highlands, flood warnings across the UK, and disrupted the country’s public transport systems. It was the second major storm in the last few months seen on the islands.
, three of the 200-year-old beach trees that made up the famous tunnel of branches were ripped up by the roots during the storm.
Already one of the most photographed natural landmarks on the island of Ireland, the tourist attraction recently achieved global prominence after it appeared on the hit HBO series… The beech trees were planted in the 18th century by a local family, the Stuarts, with the intent of creating a grand entrance to their nearby Georgian mansion, Gracehill House.
The road is likely to be closed to traffic for the remainder of Friday as Northern Ireland’s Roads Service works to remove three fallen trees.
tourists stops on the official Ireland tour. The trees will be missed.

Yeah. And it’s not really a copse – it’s an allee. A copse is clustered around a treed-in center (as opposed to a grove, which has an open space in the center). An allee is strung out single file on one or both sides of a road or entryway.
I had the same thought at first, stand them up and brace them by getting a team to create a foundation that will brace them and hold them up while creating a way of irrigating the remaining roots. It’s basically impossible though and even if not, it would be outrageously costly and probably dangerous.
It’s too bad, they were truly haunting and unique. They could use machines to transplant semi-adult beech trees into their place (there are machines specifically for that) after the clean up but even that is far fetched. I hope they try something and someone rich enough wants to finance it.
Aw, that’s a bummer. What a beautiful location it had been.
Yes! Kill it with fire! …although not crispy. Perhaps an errant tail swipe?
Not only did were these trees uprooted, but Gertrude knocked my bin down
Do they use CGI to make the modern road which runs between the trees look like a grassy trail, or do they cover it with turf while filming?
A57se… If it was Dragon damage they would be burnt to a crisp… ;) – personally Im pretty saddened by their damage. Nothing lasts forever – sad.
They should plant new ones. And 200 years from now people will say it was good Queen Daenerys that planted them.
Looks like the mountain is still tearing up the Riverlands…….. Prick
Cool place to visit. Hope it’s restored.
