3. Go Westeros to Northern Ireland
Autumn is coming, but we still have some fine weather to enjoy for now. And since Game of Thrones fans have to wait until April 2019 to learn how the story ends, it might be worth getting a fix of some behind-the-scenes locations in Northern Ireland. Tourism Ireland is inviting the world to get a real and first-hand feel for the forests, cliffs, castles and bays where some of their favourite characters have laid their feet; Winterfell at Castle Ward, The Haunted Forest at Tollymore Forest Park and the Dothraki Grasslands at Binevenagh to name a few. And for a stay worthy of a Lord or Lady, visitors can find a range of five-star hotel spas, such as Culloden Estate and Spa, which has a trio of Autumn spa offers.
