Door 6 - Fullerton Arms, GOT Location in Northern Ireland
When it comes to Northern Ireland and the places which one could visit there then coming to the point where mentioning those locations where Game of Thrones scenes were filmed or even those where the doors are located, is considered beneficial.
We have to mention that there are two different types of GOT locations out there; those which are more of touristic destinations in Northern Ireland and which are more of outdoor areas, and those hotels, restaurants, pubs, and bars in which the 10 doors that appeared throughout the episodes are located - in this video, it is about hitting a destination related to the second type of location.
Door number 6 which focuses on House Targaryen also focuses on Drogon-Daenery's most aggressive and fearsome dragon. This door which is found in the Fullerton Arms Hotel was carved from the fallen trees of the Dark Hedges, where some other scenes from the movie were filmed in as well and which is considered one famous historical destination in Northern Ireland (
The interesting thing about this location - the Fullerton Arms Hotel - is that not only the door will be attracting tourists and visitors to it, but there is also a dining room set and prepared inside the hotel in the world of Game of Thrones, complete with the banners and its own replica iron throne - so you could also reserve your dinner at this place (
Every single door appearing in the movie will be related to specific characters and scenes in the movie, so you should be a fan and one who have seen all the different episodes in order to understand what you are seeing in real - but again, this would be only visited by those who are fans of the movie and have seen it because otherwise they will not be even interested in coming to check it in the real world in the first place.
This is not the only door for us to visit while tracking them all, but we have seen door number 3 in the Percy French Restaurant in Newcastle, county Antrim ( we have seen door number 4 in Blakes of the Hollow traditional Irish Victorian pub that has been open for more than 125 years ( we have checked door number 8 that is located in Mary McBride's Bar ( we checked door number 9 in Ballygally Castle Hotel that is also famous for the haunted room found in it and which is the reason why it is sometimes referred to as the Haunted Hotel ( and we have also seen door number 10 in the Dark Horse Bar in Belfast Commercial Court - a famous place for those willing to visit Belfast - (
The doors which we haven't been to yet and still didn't check are door number 1 which is located in the Cuan in Strangford, door number 2 which is situated in Fiddler's Green in Portaferry, door number 5 which is located in Frank Owens in Limavady, as well as door number 7 which is found in Gracehill House in Stranocum. We are making our plans to complete the journey and reach all these doors to complete the whole set.
Checking the doors might be an interesting thing for those who didn't even watch the movie because they are really pieces of art which one will enjoy looking at but those who have seen the movie will get to understand the shapes and the carvings. On the other hand, it is not important for the people to watch the movie if they are visiting the other locations that appeared in the movie because they also happen to be important when it comes to the tourism of Northern Ireland.
Connolly Cove paid a visit to several Game of Thrones locations in Northern Ireland - since it is almost all filmed there - and even though we will always consider the Dark Hedges our favorite, we still loved all those other places as well. We have been to the Binevenagh Mountain ( we have also visited Toome Canal in Toomebridge, county Antrim ( we have been to the Cushendun Caves which we consider a miracle on its own because it was created from the weather changes ( we visited the location on Lough Neagh where GOT scene was filmed - this is considered the longest lake in Ireland or even Britain - ( we have also been to Portstewart Strand ( as well as the Downhill Beach in Castlerock (
We are caring much about completing the list of GOT locations which we could visit and transfer our experience back to you; have you been to any of these places before?

Game Of Thrones 10th Door - The Dark Horse Bar, Belfast
Game Of Thrones Door S6 Ep9 - The Dark Horse Bar, Belfast Commercial Court, Northern Ireland.
If you decide to book a Northern Ireland vacation, don't forget to add the Game of Thrones Doors tour to your list. Check out the Game of Thrones map and find many filming locations and sets around the country ( To celebrate the filming and release of the HBO Game of Thrones series specially carved doors with scenes from different episodes were designed and created. With each episode a new door was released and this was the final door in Belfast. Pop into The Dark Horse in Commercial Court for a drink, some food and most importantly to get a real Game of Thrones experience.
We have all been thrilled with the Game of Thrones movie series and were even astonished with the locations and decorations which appeared inside. Being lucky enough, these locations where in Northern Ireland and thus lots of tourists now - who also happen to be addicts of Game of Thrones movie - reach Northern Ireland and start asking about where are the filming locations of the movie and whether it is easy to reach them and see the whole thing in reality or not.
Even though there are other countries taking part in the filming of Game of Thrones, Northern Ireland will also stand at the top because almost all the locations where in it. The main head quarters for the production is at the Paint Hall studio in Belfast, Northern Ireland, where most of the interior sets are located and that comes in addition to most of the on-shooting locations which also took place in Belfast city, such as in the Black Castle. Since most of the scenes in the movie are taken in Belfast then it means that most of the scenes are also taken in county Antrim and county Down - since Northern Ireland is divided into six counties - but there are also those taken in county Derry and county Armagh.
In the Game of Thrones movie series, there were several doors taking place during the scenes and these doors happen to be in Northern Ireland and also managed to attract several tourists to them. These doors which mostly appeared in season 9 are scattered among several cafes, pubs, and inns in Northern Ireland which are now displayed for the visitors to check them. Each one of these several doors is usually found near an iconic filming location, so always know that whenever you come across a specific door, you are in the territory of Game of Thrones movie.
The first door of these is found in the Cuan guest inn in Strangford, the second is in Fiddler's Green Bar and B&B in Portaferry, the third door is found in Percy French Restaurant in the Slieve Donard Hotel in Newcastle, the fourth door of Game of Thrones is found in Blakes of the Hollow Pub in Enniskillen, the fifith door is in Frank's (Owens) Bar in Limavady, the sixth door is in the Fullerton Arms in Ballintoy, the seventh door is in Gracehill House near Ballymoney, the eight door is in Mary McBrides Bar in Cushendun, the ninth door is found in Ballygally Castle Hotel, the tenth and last door which is the one we have visited to bring this video out to you is in the Dark House Belfast, County Antrim.
The way these wooden doors are carved is the reason why people who know that they are found in real places and displayed for the public always consider visiting these places whenever they are in the same country - and there are even those who are crazy about the movie that they decided to visit Northern Ireland for the main purpose of checking the locations where anything related to the movie is found.
A lot of those who visit the Dark Horse Bar only do that in order to check the door number 10 which took a huge part of the Game of Thrones movie series and even though this might be considered not so good for a cafe or restaurant but those working there are always helpful and will even take you straight to the door while at the same time being nice to take pictures of you if you asked any of them to.
The Dark Horse Bar in Belfast is a good place to visit and try if you will be already checking one of the ten doors found in Northern Ireland, so you could see the door and at the same time enjoy having lunch or dinner by sitting on a view by that door.
It is not just about the doors but since you are in Northern Ireland, you could still get the chance to see more of the locations where the film was taken ( and get introduced to the doors which we have managed to visit the locations that carry some of them (
