Northern Ireland 🇬🇧, Dark Hedges Beech Alley
The most beautiful beech alley Dark Hedges is located in the Irish county of Antrim. Fans of the popular TV series "Game of Thrones" probably remember the picturesque Royal Highway.
The beech alley was planted by the Stuart family in the 1750s, so the age of the ancient trees today is more than 250 years old. It was planned that the luxurious natural tunnel would be a "prelude" for visitors to the Gracehill Estate. However, over the years it became clear that the alley is so good in itself that it can be considered a real landscape work of art.
The branches of the trees growing on both sides of the road were so tightly intertwined with each other that they formed an arched vault. Dark Hedges looks mysterious, almost mystical, when the rays of the setting sun shine through the crowns and trunks of these giants. Photographers are happy to come here to enjoy the magical atmosphere and try to capture the miraculous beauty.
