Buttevant is a medieval market town, incorporated by charter of Edward III, situated in North County Cork, Ireland. While there may be reason to suggest that the town may occupy the site of an earlier settlement of the Donegans, Carrig Donegan, the origins of the present town are clearly and distinctly Norman, and closely connected with the settlement of the Barrys from the 13th century. Here they built their principal stronghold in North Cork. Buttevant is located on the N20 road between Limerick and Cork and the R522 regional road.

Titanic: Honor and Glory is a video game, currently under development by Vintage Digital Revival, also known as Four Funnels Entertainment. The game will feature the most accurate digital representation of the RMS Titanic to date, as well as a model of the city of Southampton in 1912. The game is intended not only to be entertaining, but also a historical teaching tool, and a memorial to all those who lost their lives in the disaster. The project was originally funded through crowd funding on such sites as Indiegogo, however, during a podcast on April 10, 2015, director Thomas Lynskey announced that the team would move away from crowd funding in order to focus more on the game's development.

R U in Ireland exploring Castle Lyons village sights in County Cork Ireland

Castle Lyons was one of the main seats of the Barry family in the 13th century, ever since King John granted the land to William de Barry. The Earl of Barrymore took over the castle in 1627 and built a large fortified house. In the 17th century, the castle was held by the English as a stronghold against the Irish.

Castle Lyons was captured by Lord Castlehaven after the battle of Manning Ford in 1643. The castle remained a habitable building until it was destroyed by fire accidently in 1771.

Dark Hedges - County Antrim, Northern Ireland - GOT

Are you making a tour around Northern Ireland so that you could manage to see those different GOT locations and at the same time see some of the beautiful touristic attractions found in the country? Be ready then because through this video we will take you through a tour in the Dark Hedges which is one of those destinations.

The Dark Hedges is an avenue of beech trees that is located along Bregagh Road in county Antrim, between Armoy and Stranocum. There is a story and even a legendary one behind this place that make it famous and beneficial when it comes to the list of places that should be visited in Northern Ireland but actually its appearance in Game of Thrones movie series was one of the reasons why it became more famous and why lots of people are now heading to it to check the place and take some pictures.

The dark hedges was built in 1775 by James Stuart who wanted to make a different entrance to the house which he built there and named it Gracehill House after the name of his wife; he built 150 beech trees there and from that time, they made a different look into the entrance of the place and gave it a totally different feeling and experience but didn't attract as much people to it as it did after its appearance in Game of Thrones (

Walking under those trees delivers a different kind of feeling and you would actually take different pictures that you will always keep remembering. On the other hand, it is important to mention the legend related to this place and which is about the ghosts that are believed to visit the place; the legend says that the dark hedges is visited by a ghost referred to as Grey Lady who travels the road and moves from one tree to the other, this ghost is believed to be either the spirit of James Stuart daughter or one of the house's maids who dies mysteriously. The legend of this place would bring you to see the beautiful place that appeared in Game of Thrones and at the same time give you the horror of walking across a place that is visited by some ghosts.

One of the different problems which are related to the dark hedges goes to being very old and thus they are exposed to falling down with any weather condition that the country might be passing by. There are already some of those trees which have fallen down due to being old enough and some of them were taken and transferred into those doors which appeared in the Game of Thrones movie series (

The dark hedges is not the only Game of Thrones location that is found in Northern Ireland and which you could include in the tour you are making which is related to Game of Thrones shooting locations, but there are actually a couple of ones which are there on the list, such as Lough Neagh for example ( Larrybane ( Cushendun Caves ( Ballygally Castle Hotel ( Binevenagh Mountain ( Ballintoy Harbour ( Portstewart Strand in Portrush ( Toome Canal ( Pollnagollum Cave ( and Leitrim Lodge (

These general locations of the movie which are found in Northern Ireland are not all those things related to the movie which one could find in this country, but there are also those bars, pubs, and restaurants in which some of the 10 doors which appeared throughout the movie are located and which was also part of the trips which we used to make when we were touring the country searching for Game of Thrones shooting locations.

Game of Thrones is one of those movies which attracted lots of viewers to it and that is why when it comes to those locations and sets, it is important to mention that it actually succeeded in attracting lots of tourists and even local Irish people to it, giving them the chance to explore lots of places in their country which they might have never come across before - and that is how we actually reached lots of these different locations.

The most photographed location in Ireland? The dark hedges in Ballymoney County Antrim are famous due to the TV show Game of Thrones and the kings road scene.

The interesting thing when it comes to talking about Game of Thrones and Northern Ireland is that two dire wolves that appeared in the movie also happen to be Irish from Northern Ireland (
