The Dark Hedges is a famous avenue of beech trees in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. Planted in the 18th century to create an impressive entrance to Gracehill House, these trees have become a popular tourist attraction and were featured in Game of Thrones. Legend has it that a ghost called the Grey Lady haunts the area, adding to its mysterious allure. Despite facing challenges like storm damage and increased visitor traffic, efforts are being made to preserve this enchanting natural wonder for future generations.
