VoK 287: Westerosi Travelogue (Vol.1) – GOT locations in Northern Ireland


13043298_10156760163735524_8912818775732015234_n

In this episode Bina007 describes a recent road trip to Northern Ireland to visit Game of Thrones locations. It’s a beautiful country and seeing locations is a great motivation to get to otherwise quite obscure but lovely villages and parks. That said, it’s not yet very well set up to receive GoT tourism so this podcast aims to give you some pro-tips that we wish someone had told us before we’d set off!
