About this tour
Walk through the forests of County Down where Game of Thrones season 1 was filmed, visiting three pivotal locations from beyond the Wall and Winterfell. This 90-minute guided trek covers roughly 2 miles through Tollymore Forest with a local guide who'll dress you in an authentic Stark wool cloak. The route involves some rough ground and notable elevation changes, so you'll need reasonable fitness and sturdy boots. Meet the coach at 10am and expect the Northern Irish elements to test your resolve.
Highlights
- Three on-location Game of Thrones filming sites in one walk
- Wear an actual Stark cloak during the trek
- Uneven terrain and forest streams—proper hiking experience
- Steep forest descent and return climb challenge fitness
- Local guide knowledge of production details and lore
- Rain ponchos supplied for unpredictable weather
- Meet group transport identified by coach signage
What to expect
You'll join the morning coach tour group and hike into Tollymore's steep-sided valleys, moving between three scenes used in the show's first season. The forest floor is rough underfoot—roots, rocks, and uneven drops are normal. The descent into the woodland is pronounced; the return climb demands real effort. Weather in County Down shifts fast, so layering matters. Your guide handles the storytelling and logistics; they'll kit you out with the cloak at the start, and rain protection arrives as ponchos rather than jackets.
Good to know
Wear waterproof hiking boots and layers—Tollymore weather is changeable. The walk isn't suitable if you have mobility limits, spinal issues, are pregnant, or have cardiovascular concerns. Minimum age 18. Bring your own water; lunch isn't included. Public transport serves the area.
