Passing through Ballymena as part of the combined Game of Thrones and Giant’s Causeway tour, there were two stops, one to see the Caves of the Shadow Creature below Dragonstone and one to see where Arya was stabbed in Braavos.

Cushendun Caves

Formed over 400 million years ago, they’ve been a minor tourist spot for years, but recently they’ve seen a dramatic influx of Game of Thrones fans coming to see the Caves where Missandei gave birth to the shadow assassin. Tucked away inside the caves a chair with some planks nailed to it is a low budget, low effort mimic of the Iron Throne.

The caves cut through to a small cove and are lovely.

Carnlough Harbour

Located in one of the nine Glens of Antrim, the small Harbour is a focal point for the picturesque village of Carnlough. Fans of Game of Thrones will recognise the staircase leading down to the ocean, where Arya Stark crawled up from the waters after being stabbed by the Waif in Braavos.
