Game Of Thrones location and tourist spot vandalised in Northern Ireland

THE PSNI are investigating following the discovery of spray paint on road signs near The Dark Hedges in Co. Antrim.

The Dark Hedges, also known as the Bregagh Road near Armoy, became a huge draw for tourists and TV fans after they appeared briefly in one scene of one episode of the drama series Game of Thrones.

The Dark Hedges were planted more than 200 years ago by the Stuart family, who created a tree-lined avenue along the entrance to their Gracehill House mansion.

About 150 were planted by James Stuart, but time has taken its toll over the centuries and now fewer than two-thirds remain standing.

According to The Sun, the site has been sealed off due to the vandalised signs.

They appealed for information from anyone with information: "Police on patrol in the Bregagh Road area of Armoy on Monday, April 2 noted that paint had been sprayed on a number of road signs.

"If anyone saw the damage being caused or knows anything about this incident, they are asked to contact police on 101."
