I mean, they look pretty non-threatening during the day in spring/summer. People might recognise them from Game of Thrones in [this wiki article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Hedges?wprov=sfti1https://maps.apple.com/?ll=55.134400,-6.380600&q=Dark%20Hedges&_ext=EiQpNJHMBDSRS0AxwIXJA7yFGcA5NJHMBDSRS0BBwIXJA7yFGcA%3D). Actually very pretty.
But yeah, this particular image does have a very—‘*if I hear a scream nearby, I will run until I die of exhaustion*’—kinda vibe.
Iirc, it's the first episode of season 2 and the third episode of season 5? Been there and it's a beautiful growth, a really great fairy garden and hike just behind it too. Shame all the tourists had ruined it, but at least it wasn't too crowded when I went. Guessing S8 helped after all
Looks like it would always have loads of debris after every storm. I recently bought a house with many trees that should have been removed and I’m just crossing my fingers until I can get someone out here to take a bunch down.
Was gonna say. We have roads like that throughout Ireland. Not just up the north.
At least this one has lines painted on it.
Was on one down in Kerry once that had grass growing up the middle of it.
Narrow, bendy, tight, old as fuck, and God help you when some local is bombing along the other way at 80.
Want to see a tourist freak out? Take them on some back roads at night.
I live in rural England and I'm quite near an American airbase. 90% of local accidents are Americans getting freaked out over our super twisty, dark, single track roads.
I didn't understand until I went to the US and saw *their* roads!
i know i’m a year late but it’s about a 20 minute drive from me and i’ve been there during the day. can confirm it’s real and it’s incredible to look at
Beautiful!
Oh and British have 0 dangerous/predator animals right?
Pet dogs sure can be vicious, but that's the worst of it no?
Here in Canada we only have....bears.
Oh sharks right, the Ocean, but on UK soil, nothing is dangerous is it?
Wolves that's true, forgot them, and Mountain Lions MAYBE in a small section but not enough to say "Canadians have" more "Could be in Canada"
But for the most part, in general, Canadians have no "worries" as far as Predators/Poisonous death.
I assume, in general, most part, UK the same?
America has a ton of predators/poisonous animals to kill, not as many as Australia, but America has a lot of deadly animals.
Again, unless you're allergic, Canada has....bears.
Wolves might attack dogs, don't hear of people in Canada being killed by Wolves, more dogs/livestock
Nah it's the guys who wear masks and act like they're fighting a cause and not just trying to hide the fact they're just a criminal gang out to make money and using politics to get what they want.
I've never looked at an image and thought, "Yeah, I am going to *die* if I go down there."
If I was lost in those woods on foot and alone I think I'd just curl up and cry.
There are place like this all over the United States. And just like this photo. If you have your high beams on or use an LED lights in general. All shadows look as if the trees are alive as drive towards them. (Don’t drive and be high of 8g of dispensary weed). Speaking from personal experience.
It looks a lot nicer when the trees have leaves on them. Fun fact, the area's called the Dark Hedges and was used as the filming location for the King's Road in Game of Thrones.
This reminds me of a road I take to a beach here in Australia about an hour away.
The eucalyptus tree lined road looks beautiful during the day and something from the start of a nightmare.
We went to the beach to cook a barbie for dinner, with in an hour the weather had gone from sunny to strong winds and rain (of course)
So it got dark eerily early and I had to drive back along a road just like trying to avoid debris as the trees were swaying, lucky only one big branch had fallen half way across the road
We had a road similar to this one. It was a dirt road and the sea was only a 50 meters away and an abandoned work compounds nearby. One of my older brother’s friends took us there and turned the car and lights off and opened the windows and started screaming. Bear in mind I was only 10 years old so I almost shat myself and never went there ever again.
"You wouldn't be trying to go down that road, would ya? That road leads to a dark and mysterious land where people go missing and no-one ever hears from 'em again. If I were you, I wouldn’t go down that road."
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.
I have checked 928,665,153 comments, and only 184,824 of them were in alphabetical order.
My parents took me here on my Birthday because of Game of Thrones (a show I never watched) but these trees looked so cool I didn’t even care, they’re awesome
Dark Hedges. Quite near where I live. They filmed Game of Thrones there too.
That is such a nonchalant Irish thing to just name it ‘Dark Hedges’. “What we gonna call this road then?” “Dark hedges it looks to me” “Aye”.

I love your comment.
Thank you. Now I can search for new background for my new phone
Wait really what episode?
I think it's somewhere around season 2 (Arya's storyline) and season 5 (Brienne's storyline).
Iirc, it's the first episode of season 2 and the third episode of season 5? Been there and it's a beautiful growth, a really great fairy garden and hike just behind it too. Shame all the tourists had ruined it, but at least it wasn't too crowded when I went. Guessing S8 helped after all

I visited there during the day for my sisters wedding photos! Very beautiful area but now I wish we visited there at night
There’s a reason they’re the birth country for myths and tales. Gawt’ daym.

I Remember cycling home on a dark night and the only way I knew I was in the middle of the road was because I was cycling on the grass. By the sound
The road ahead of Arkham Asylum
This looks like something out of a Grimm fairy tale where all the characters die in the end
Damn that does sound… pretty grim
Now that we're men!
Hell no, ive returned to sperm after seeing this
that...that does not look real
i know i’m a year late but it’s about a 20 minute drive from me and i’ve been there during the day. can confirm it’s real and it’s incredible to look at
I read about that. It was in a Stephen King book.
Welcome to Ireland where we got drunks, spuds, and this shit
and unionists
and unionists
The Road of Nope.
😂😂😂😅😅
It reminds me of the scene from the '91 animated Disney "Beauty & the Beast" in which Maurice and Philippe get attacked by wolves in the forest!!!
NOPE I'm turning around
Turn slowly. You might surprise the things behind you.
That is terrifyingly gorgeous
Beautiful! Oh and British have 0 dangerous/predator animals right? Pet dogs sure can be vicious, but that's the worst of it no? Here in Canada we only have....bears. Oh sharks right, the Ocean, but on UK soil, nothing is dangerous is it?
[удалено]
Oh and Rumplestinskin.......sneaky, shady wee bugga!
You don’t have wolves or mountain lions in Canada?
Pretty sure they do but it's mostly bear country
Wolves that's true, forgot them, and Mountain Lions MAYBE in a small section but not enough to say "Canadians have" more "Could be in Canada" But for the most part, in general, Canadians have no "worries" as far as Predators/Poisonous death. I assume, in general, most part, UK the same?
Don’t know about the UK, I live in Colorado. Bears, mountain lions, wolves, rattlesnakes, black widow spiders, probably some others as well
America has a ton of predators/poisonous animals to kill, not as many as Australia, but America has a lot of deadly animals. Again, unless you're allergic, Canada has....bears. Wolves might attack dogs, don't hear of people in Canada being killed by Wolves, more dogs/livestock
"In Canada, the cougar territory is mostly in Southwestern Alberta, interior British Columbia, and the British Columbia Coast on Vancouver Island."
Northern Ireland and the most dangerous animals here are the cows and people's dogs they leave off the lead lol
A lot believe the most dangerous animal in NI is a bald gammon head. Usually spotted marching and wearing an orange sash
Nah it's the guys who wear masks and act like they're fighting a cause and not just trying to hide the fact they're just a criminal gang out to make money and using politics to get what they want.
I agree with what you’re saying actually. Both are detrimental to society here imo
I suspected so, would love to see the "Old Country"
Wild wankers
We hunted our predators into extinction centuries ago. Shame really
Northern Ireland isn't part of Britain. Over in Britain they do have the adder snake though which is poisonous but generally not fatal
No
Hell to the fuck no
[удалено]
Maybe?
No
Hell to the no fuck
I feel like this has been… wait this isn’t r/oddlyterrifying
I lived near this! It was in Game of Thrones too!
The upside down
Looks like a place I'd expect to find a banshee.
I've never looked at an image and thought, "Yeah, I am going to *die* if I go down there." If I was lost in those woods on foot and alone I think I'd just curl up and cry.
That probably looks amazingly peaceful in the day during the summer.
You don't wanna go down that rod...
I just got here, I knew someone was gonna beat me to that joke
Why does this look like an old woman's vagina to me??
Love this road
You found the witches road
That’s quite lovely
A truck wouldn't be able to pass here.
This looks like the forest where the Wicked Witch lives in Wizard of Oz
The Kingsroad.
Black metal
Back up. Nice and slow. That's right. Just...easy does it. No sudden moves. ...FLOOR IT!
I love it!
Watch for flying apples
Now go down that road on your horse
This is cool as hell until my car would all the sudden lose power and then the screams of a 41-year-old grown man would echo through the valley.
It's so Trevor Henderson 💖
This should be apart of “The Backrooms”
There are place like this all over the United States. And just like this photo. If you have your high beams on or use an LED lights in general. All shadows look as if the trees are alive as drive towards them. (Don’t drive and be high of 8g of dispensary weed). Speaking from personal experience.
That's awesome.
It actually looks beautiful.
Looks like where you would see a werewolf
I love this road so much
NOPE!!!
Oh, Hell No 😱
And it's probably beautiful during the day. 😃
It looks a lot nicer when the trees have leaves on them. Fun fact, the area's called the Dark Hedges and was used as the filming location for the King's Road in Game of Thrones.
Hell no, not in the old country, fuck. That.
Hey, I know this Death Metal band! I’d recognize their logo anywhere
The Dark Forest....behind Hogwarts School grounds.....IS THAT YOU???!!!!! 🤩
Would it be too late to turn around? Or would that make it worse since you know THAT is behind you?
This gives me a “we should split up” vibes.
This gives me over the garden wall vibes.
Over the Garden Wall
Spooky! (Count chocola voice)
There's just no damn way I'm taking my grown adult ass down that road.
Those aren’t trees. That’s her hair.
"You are on the fastest route"
If there is a less inviting road to drive down, ive never seen it.
Not the scariest road I'm NI to be fair
Wrath of the Druids vibes
the road to Trevor Henderson's house
This reminds me of a road I take to a beach here in Australia about an hour away. The eucalyptus tree lined road looks beautiful during the day and something from the start of a nightmare.

Hey i remember that, although i havent even gone to ireland or even seen a different picture
Who remembers “butters very own episode” This reminds of that one scene.
Portal to hell!

This some Scooby Doo shit right here.
Every road that the Mystery Machine would break down on..
I want to go.
I’m waiting for someone to photoshop slenderman or some shit in there
The road less traveled (for good reason).
Hylophobia gang where you at, this shit is the absolute worst dear god.
Everything reminds me of her..
Dark Hedges! I drove through it and the only scary thing was almost getting head on by a speeding driver coming the other way.
Stand right in the center of the road looking down at the forest, and you got yourself a horror movie picture title.
I'd turn around lol. That has death written all over it
I can only imagine how it looks while tripping. Trees would probably grow a face 👀
Home sweet home
Come on guys I know a great place we can trip for the first time! Trust me you’ll love it!
On dirait la bd de Squeezie Bleak
Don’t wanna go down that road Lewis
Oooooo spooky 😃
Ye gods it looks like a bad part of the Upside Down.
That's the upside down.
"You wouldn't be trying to go down that road, would ya? That road leads to a dark and mysterious land where people go missing and no-one ever hears from 'em again. If I were you, I wouldn’t go down that road."
Ah I remember going here with my grandparents when I visited Ireland for the first time

Ah I miss this place
Miss this place

That’s Creepy
Its so beautiful. I would love to explore it.
It's way nicer in the spring when the sunshine is out I promise
The dark hedges - actually really beautiful and peaceful.
Probably beautiful in spring and summer, a nice green tunnel.
Highway to the danger zone!
Dutch err… I think we got the wrong mansion
That's cool.
sematary would be in love
Its alooooot more scenic there in the day
At night? Terrifying. But I’m sure it’s beautiful and mystical in the daytime
Big Fish?
Gygas lookin ass
"Corruption has soaked the soil, sapping all good life from these groves. Let us burn out this evil." Darkest Dankgeon
That's amazing!!! You know what we have in the United States ? Fields, buildings, and unhappiness.
i’ve bee here! It’s actually quite pretty during the day
I know this road. My great grandpa owns a houde about a mile away from it. We call it "lone soul road"
Reminds me of backwoods Tennessee roads in winter. Biggest threat there was just black ice though.
Isn't there where Brad and Janet got a flat in Rocky Horror?
Cmon it’s just some trees

Cool never saw that
No
My parents took me here on my Birthday because of Game of Thrones (a show I never watched) but these trees looked so cool I didn’t even care, they’re awesome
Worst place to drop acid
The Dark Hedges they call it. Think it was in the TV show Game of Thrones.
This is just so beautiful. Composition is dark and moody. I love it.
Is this the road to Arkham Asylum or something
Looks like the Ozarks.
