Larrybane Quarry is a picturesque location, perched on the rugged Antrim Coast, offering breathtaking views of the North Atlantic Ocean. The coastal cliffs and nearby Ballintoy Harbour contribute to the area's dramatic and picturesque setting. This disused limestone quarry is renowned for its stunning coastal scenery and has gained popularity as a filming location for the HBO "Game of Thrones."

Historically, Larrybane Quarry operated as a working limestone quarry, extracting limestone for various purposes. The quarrying activity has long ceased, and the site is now appreciated for its natural beauty and cultural significance.

🎬 Larrybane Quarry gained international recognition as a filming location for "Game of Thrones." It was prominently featured in Season 2, where it served as the backdrop for several significant scenes, including Renly Baratheon's camp. Larrybane Quarry was transformed into the camp of Renly Baratheon, one of the claimants to the Iron Throne. The location was used to depict the Stormlands, a region in the fictional world of Westeros. Larrybane Quarry's distinctive cliffs and coastal features made it an ideal choice to represent the Stormlands, a region characterized by its rugged terrain and proximity to the sea. The authenticity of the location added to the visual appeal of the series.

The area around Larrybane Quarry offers walking trails that lead to viewpoints with stunning vistas of the Antrim Coast. Visitors can enjoy a leisurely stroll along the cliffs and appreciate the unique geological features.
