The Dark Hedges is an avenue of beech trees in Northern Ireland. In about 1775 James Stuart built a new house, named Gracehill House after his wife Grace Lynd. Over 150 beech trees were planted along the entrance road to the estate, to create an imposing approach. According to legend, the hedges are visited by a ghost called the Grey Lady, who travels the road and flits across it from tree to tree. She is claimed to be either the spirit of James Stuart’s daughter (named “Cross Peggy”) or one of the house’s maids who died mysteriously, or a spirit from an abandoned graveyard beneath the fields, who on Halloween is joined on her visitation by other spirits from the graveyard.
The trees form an atmospheric tunnel that has been used as a location in HBO’s popular television series Game of Thrones, which has resulted in the avenue becoming a popular tourist attraction.

It’s certainly very eerie. I would have no difficulty in making out the ‘Grey Lady’ here. I have an image in my mind of the night view…
Foreste fittissime…

I think this is also the location that Seamus Heaney mentioned as the setting for one or two of his Seeing Things 12-line poems.
Both nice and strange. A good topic for photographs !
I saw this avenue on BBC Countryfile recently – it is so beautiful.
A realy awesome place to make pictures.
Amazing
