Game Of Thrones Filming Location in NI - Ballintoy Harbour
Since almost all the scenes that appeared in Game of Thrones movie series are located in Northern Ireland then going on a treasure hunt to bring these different locations to our viewers is a must - and as the same time enjoy them ourselves - so this time our trip was to Ballintoy Harbour which is one of GOT locations that are found out there.
Ballintoy - which means the northern town when translated from the Irish language - is a small village, townland, and civil parish that is located in county Antrim, Northern Ireland, and this is the place that is close enough to the Ballintoy Harbour - one kilometer away - where Game of Thrones scenes were filmed and the place where we visited this time.
Ballintoy Harbour is a small fishing harbour at the end of a very small, narrow, steep road down Knocksaughey hill which passes by the entrance to Larrybane ( and Carrick-a-Rede Rope bridge, which are also considered important destinations that tourists head to in order to check when it comes to visiting Northern Ireland.
Ballintoy Harbour is sometimes referred to as a raised beach and when you first visit this place, in addition to falling in love with it, you will also find that it is placing an information board that informs people about this place in regards to the Game of Thrones movie and the scenes which were taken in it.
You will go back home from this place with a lot of beautiful pictures that will reflect how beautiful nature is when it comes to this place, and you will also go back home with one place and one GOT location crossed out from the list of destinations which you were willing to head to and check - so it is not just about Game of Thrones fans, it is a beautiful place in general.
Ballintoy village itself, which as we have mentioned above is just one kilometer away, could serve you with the restaurants, shops, hotels, and is also the place where people could visit the quaint white Ballintoy Parish Church on the hill above the harbour along with one other church as well - so if you happen to be coming a long way to reach the Ballintoy Harbour, never worry about finding a place where you could eat or sleep.
It is not the only location to head out to in order to check all those which are related to Game of Thrones, but we also visited other locations which include the Dark Hedges, which is known to be famous on its own without even appearing in the movie but which attracted more tourists after it was featured in the movie ( we have also visited the Giant's Causeway which also happens to be one of the destinations that tourists head for when it comes to Northern Ireland ( we also went to Dunluce Castle which we consider it one of the best places for people to visit when it comes to the castles in the country ( Leitrim Lodge was also another GOT location we have been to and checked how it looks like in the real world ( Lough Neagh which is the longest lake in Britain and which was referred to as the smoking sea in the movie ( we have also been to the Cushendun Caves ( and also we once got the chance to visit Portstewart Strand ( and Binevenagh Mountain (
It is not just about those outdoor locations, but there are also the locations - restaurants, bars, pubs, hotels - in which the 10 doors that appeared in all the episodes are located and which we have already been to some of them in order to check these doors that we believe are just pieces of art - these doors are believed to be made from the fallen trees in the Dark Hedges and which every single one of them is related to a specific thing related to the movie and its different episodes - so the fans would be the ones to understand it all more than those who are just checking the places for their beauty.
If you are a huge fan of Game of Thrones then Northern Ireland is the right place and destination for you.

After 3 mins in much of the footage was taken with a Canon 600D DSLR with 100-400mm lens so the depth and quality is more notable and dramatic.

360 Degree Video - Ballintoy Beach - Ballintoy Harbour
Ballintoy Harbour in Co. Antrim - a great location for a beach or cliff walk. There is a historic harbour where the waves crash around. Ballintoy beach and Game of Thrones Ballintoy is well known for the TV show. There are some lovely Ballintoy harbour cottages and its possible to see sheep island and the rope bridge in the distance. All this in 360 degree video!
For those who are not familiar with this place we have been at, Ballintoy Harbour - which is translated from the Irish dictionary to the northern townland - is a small village, townland, and civil parish in county Antrim, Northern Ireland, that is located North East of Coleraine, West of Ballycastle and between it and Bushmills. This village or small town is located one kilometer away from Ballintoy Harbour which we have taken this video at.
Ballintoy Harbour is a small fishing harbour at the end of a very small, narrow, and steep road down Knocksaughey, which passes by the entrance to Larrybane and Carrick-a-Rede Rope bridge. We have been to these different spots and we finally ended them with the Ballintoy Harbour where we took different pictures and brought this 360 degree video to life.
We have been filming this video at the Ballintoy Harbour but when it comes to this small village, there are other beautiful things and places that one could enjoy, such as a couple of small shops that you could stroll by and enter, about two churches are found there - one of them is the quaint white Ballintoy Parish Church that is located on the hill above the harbour - as well as some restaurants along with commercial and social facilities.
Among all the different other locations in Northern Ireland where the famous movie series Game of Thrones was filmed, Ballintoy Harbour was one of them and that's the reason why a lot of people started to know more about it and started to make plans to visit different locations related to Game of Thrones.
I always believe that the more one visits the hidden gems of a specific place or village, the more he/she will find more beautiful places - which is exactly part of what we are doing and what we face. Ballintoy Harbour is one of those destinations which we enjoyed because of sitting there by the water and needing nothing else - maybe just a cup of tea :-).
I have been to several other destinations which are near Ballintoy Harbour - and enjoyed every single one of them - and from the ones which I would recommend for those trying to explore Northern Ireland the way am doing, there is the Giant's Causeway, which is a truly different kind of experience and which is one place I liked very much - lots of things to be seen there ( Another exciting place - not historical yet is interesting to walk through - is the Carrick-a-Rede Rope bridge which is also in the same area close to the Ballintoy Harbour ( Not all the places that one visit are related to nature, there is also the famous Old Bushmills Distillery which you could visit and enjoy that old place where whiskey is being done and produced and where you could also bring yours back home as well - we have also been there before and enjoyed walking in this old place (
You could also check these two videos for Bushmills place which we have brought out to life during our visit ( and (
We managed to visit some places in Ballintoy or even close enough to them, but there are those which we - unfortunately - still didn't get the chance to pass by and see what they have to offer. From those other recommendations which you could head out for but which we still didn't manage to cover yet, there is Kinbane Castle (actually there are lots of different castles in Northern Ireland in general which one could check and which we have already been to some of them), there is also the Dunseverick Castle which is also close to Ballintoy Harbour and which you could visit while being there, another place in the area is the Bonamargy Friary, the Dunseverick Falls, the Portbradden Harbour the Causeway School Museum, the Shepherd's Steps, and there is also the Northcoast-National Trust.
Northern Ireland is rich with different places and destinations which one could choose from and this will depend on where you are going to stay during your vacation - Irish people could definitely plan a trip every now and then around their own county - at least something we could win at :-)
Have you ever been to any of these different places near Ballintoy? Have you ever visited the Ballintoy Harbour? We would love to know more about your experience if there is any, so please share with us what you have been through before.
