GAME OF THRONES fans will soon be able to visit some of the show's most iconic filming locations in Northern Ireland.

Part of the Game of Thrones Legacy project, the various locations are set to be converted into tourist attractions with fans given access to a wealth of behind-the-scenes details and secrets that are sure to make this a must-visit destination for fans of the show.

Though details of what fans can expect from the tour are a closely guarded secret at this point, Northern Ireland is famed for being the home of many of the show's most iconic locations.

As part of the tour, fans may also visit the nearby Linen Mill Studios to gain further insight into the work that goes into the making of the show.
