Plenty of stunning locations to explore here! DungeonsandDragons
Blessed with enchanting forests and dramatic coastlines, Northern Ireland has provided a backdrop for countless glossy films and fantasy TV shows. The latest big-screen epic to make the most of the superb scenery is Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, due for release in UK cinemas on March 31.
“Being in Belfast gave us the opportunity to feature incredible locations that you can’t find anywhere else in the world. There’s a combination of natural beauty and exotic places that makes it feel like you’re in this other world and other time, which is what the movie is.”Ballintoy and the Causeway Coast One of the film’s most exciting sequences features a cat and mouse chase through a series of vaults and tunnels in search of the Helm of Disjunction.
A 15-minute drive away is Ballintoy Beach, where a group of rocky islands immediately offshore create a ‘raised beach’. Recognisable from Game of Thrones, it also features in the new D&D film. Located in Carrickfergus, a town that’s featured in numerous nostalgic folk songs by artists ranging from Jim McCann to Ed Sheeran, the historic building is open for guided tours. Look out for the ‘murder hole’, where soldiers would pour boiling water on intruders, and use an app to watch 3D animations of key artefacts, including cannons firing out to sea.
Follow signposted trails to discover the forest’s natural beauty along with some introduced species such as monkey puzzles, giant redwoods and Monterey pines. Red squirrels, fallow deer, pine martens and kingfishers can also be spotted. For a challenge, try the Mountain and Drinns trail, passing through conifer woodland and rising to the Curraghard viewpoint for a panorama of the view of the Northern Mournes.
In 1914, shortly after the outbreak of the First World War, Clandeboye estate was transformed into a training camp for the 36th division. Sleeping in timber framed huts, new recruits would learn how to fire rifles and bayonets. Deployed to France in 1915, many died in the Battle of the Somme; the Ulster Tower memorial built in Thiepval is a replica of Helen’s Tower within Clandeboye estate.
