Game of Thrones - Tollymore Forest Trek
Description
Tollymore forest appeared in season 1 of Game of Thrones® as both the Haunted forest north of the Wall and the Wolfswood outside Winterfell. This tour is a 90 minute walking tour of three iconic locations. You will be joining our morning (10am) Winterfell coach tour customers on their locations trek. The total walking distance is 2 miles (3.2km). The terrain is sometimes 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. You can identify the coach by the name EAMONN ROONEY in huge letters on the side. Our 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. Please wear outdoor footwear and dress appropriately for the Northern Irish weather.

This was absolutely amazing! The guide was so knowledgeable, entertaining, and patient (even when i got distracted accidentally wandered off track for a bit!). The forest is gorgeous, and it was amazing to see all the key filming areas. Great value for money and I would highly recommend to any GOT fan!
Hi Mary, thank you for this wonderful review! We're delighted our guide's patience, knowledge, and entertainment made your experience so amazing - and don't worry about wandering off, the forest is absolutely gorgeous and naturally distracting!

We really enjoyed the Game of Thrones – Tollymore Forest Trek. was very friendly and had a lot to tell, as he had actually worked as an extra on Game of Thrones. The hike through the beautiful Tollymore Forest was interesting not just because of the famous filming locations, but also because of all the fascinating stories about the show and the area. We thought it was great that we got so much for such a reasonable price. For all Game of Thrones fans, but also for nature lovers, this tour is definitely worth it.
Hi Lilly, Thank you for your wonderful review of our Tollymore Forest Trek! We're delighted that our guide's firsthand experiences as an extra made the beautiful forest locations even more special for you. It's fantastic that you found great value in combining Game of Thrones magic with nature appreciation - exactly what we love to deliver for both fans and cloak marching enthusiasts!
Robby, our guide, lives and breathes GOT and he made the forest tour a 10/10 experience. It was great to walk around some iconic scenes & scenery for the series, full of extra bits of useful insight from Robby. The forest park itself is a beautiful, enchanting place recognised as a great backdrop (or the inspiration) for scenes in Games of Thrones and other amazing films also. It's fairly easy walking whilst listening, looking or taking photos, and at £10 it is very good value. I highly recommend Robby as a super guide and the tour itself as 5 star. Big Thanks Robby

Thanks for a great review for our Tollymore Trek, Road! ⚔️
The tour was hosted by Lar which was really great, and we all really enjoyed it. Lar was really informative and good fun, provided a good insight into the making of the series and the use of the locations. The props really added to the experience. Would definitely recommend. Be prepared for a lot of walking but the views and the forest are beautiful.

This was a great tour. Our tour guide was awesome! We have 2 people in our family that never watch the show and they still got a lot out of it. A definite must do your when in Ireland. The national park is breathtaking!
Hi Stan, Thanks for a great review and we are delighted the 2 in your group who have never seen GoT still enjoyed the cloaks in Tollymore Forest. The park is indeed breathtaking, old growth oak forest like our ancient forests and soon the glorious autumn colours :)
The tour was hosted by Lar which was great, really enjoyed it. Lar was really informative and good fun, gave a good insight into the making of the series. The props really added to the experience. Would recommend.
Hi Chris, Thanks for a great review for our 90 minute Tollymore Forest Trek walking tour. Glad to hear you had a fun time with Lar!
We came from Dublin and had 3 places on the list. Tollymore forest was last on the list, but the best. It’s one of my favourite forests from now on. Absolutely spectacular views. Huge car park, land so well looked after. Can’t wait to get back.
Hi Jurgita, Thanks for a great review for our Tollymore Forest Trek. We agree, Tollymore with the autumn colours is truly magical. It's the perfect film location for the Wolfswood in the north of Westeros especially at this time of year ⚔️
