The iconic Dark Hedges tree tunnel in Northern Ireland, famed for its appearance in the hit series Game of Thrones, faces an uncertain future as the trees reach the end of their lifespan.
Management of the County Antrim landmark has been transferred to the Causeway Coast and Glens Heritage Trust (CCGHT) amidst growing concerns about the site's preservation.
The CCGHT takes the reins from the Dark Hedges Preservation Trust, inheriting the complex challenge of balancing the site's popularity with its delicate ecosystem. Recent storms, including Storm Isha and Storm Eowyn, have taken their toll, claiming 13 trees since November 2023 and further weakening the aging beeches.
