Planted in the 18th century by the Stuart family, these opposing rows of beech trees were meant to create an impressive, scenic road leading up to their estate in Northern Ireland. However as the trees matured they began to bend over the road and their upper branches intermingled creating a shadowy arboreal tunnel. The bent trunks and gnarled branches give the road an aura of the supernatural, which has landed the Irish thoroughfare a number of background roles in both movies and television shows such as Game of Thrones. The Dark Hedges have even developed their own ghost story featuring a “Grey Lady” who floats along behind the rows, and disappears just as the lane ends. 📸: Photo by Flickr user mdavidford.
