This was one of the highlights of my trip to Northern Ireland. The tour guide, Lar, was wonderful and made the whole walk an incredibly enjoyable experience. The forest itself is incredibly breathtaking, and is definitely a sight I will not forget.

Travelling alone and wanted something fun to do. Booking was straightforward and easy. Met with the tour guide, Lar, as described in the booking instructions. Lar was fun, informative and I had a brilliant morning wandering in Tollymore forest. The Game of Thrones theme was great fun, dressed in Stark cloaks with photos taken of the group along the way that were shared via a QR code at the end. Thank you Lar for sharing your stories. I would highly recommend this tour.

Full description

This walking tour visits three iconic Game of Thrones® locations deep in Tollymore Forest. The first is the location of the opening prologue scene of the very first episode, the "wildling pit" where the Night's Watch finds dismembered wildling bodies in the snow. The second location is a campfire where Tyrion and Jon talk on their way north to the Wall. The third location is the bridge where the Stark's find a dead Direwolf and her litter of pups.

The tour takes approximately 1.5 hours, and will involve you joining the 10:00AM Winterfell coach tour customers on their locations trek through the forest. The total walking distance is 2 miles (3.2 kilometers), and the terrain is uneven, with a steep descent into, and final ascent out of the forest from the car park. Accordingly, this tour is not recommended for anyone with limited mobility.

As you begin you tour, your guide will give you a Stark wool cloak as part of the tour, at no extra cost. Please feel free to ask the guide before the tour begins.

We had a fantastic time at Tollymore Forest. Our guide Lar was super fun and enthusiastic and told us lots of exciting anecdotes from the set of GoT. We actually felt like the Starks as we walked through the forest in cloaks. We would definitely recommend the tour to anyone, it was the absolute highlight of our holiday!
