Follow in the footsteps of Jon Snow and Robb Stark as you tour the grounds of Castle Ward estate, the real life Winterfell. Dress up in authentic Stark family robes, as you try your hand at archery. If you’re lucky, you might even come face to face with one of the dire wolves.

Inch Abbey was founded way back in the 11th century. More recently, its crumbling walls served as the site where Robb Stark’s bannerman rallied his master after their victory in the battle of the Whispering Wood.
Hoster Tully’s Funeral on the River Quoile
Pay your respects to the head of the Tully family on the banks of the river Quoile. Taking its cues from Viking lore, season three saw Hoster Tully receive a traditional cremation on a boat on the Trident river.
The real life Quoile is full of mystery and intrigue. In 1991, a log boat dating back over 5000 years to 2739BC was uncovered on the river’s bed as part of dredging operations.
