~ Tourism Ireland\u2019s 2016 Game of Thrones<\/strong>\u00ae <\/strong>campaign continues to showcase Northern Ireland to millions of fans worldwide ~<\/strong><\/h1>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>24 May 2016<\/strong> \u2013 Episode five of the sixth season of Game of Thrones\u00ae aired last night (Monday, 23 May) and Tourism Ireland unveiled its fifth \u2018Door of Thrones\u2019 \u2013 this week in Frank\u2019s (Owens) Bar in Limavady.<\/p>\n

The door is part of Tourism Ireland\u2019s 2016 Game of Thrones\u00ae campaign, created in partnership with HBO, which is showcasing Northern Ireland to millions of the show\u2019s fans worldwide. Tourism Ireland is encouraging fans everywhere to come and follow in the footsteps of their favourite GoT characters \u2013 to discover the forests, mountains and landscapes of Northern Ireland which provide the scenic backdrops for so many memorable moments in the fantasy drama.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Tourism Ireland saved the wood from two trees at the Dark Hedges \u2013 known in Game of Thrones\u00ae as the Kingsroad \u2013 which fell during Storm Gertrude. The wood was then used to make a series of 10 beautifully carved doors, each one telling the story of the latest episode in season six. The doors are being unveiled by Tourism Ireland each week as season six unfolds, in restaurants, pubs and other venues near Game of Thrones\u00ae filming locations across Northern Ireland.<\/p>\n

This week\u2019s door in Frank\u2019s (Owens) Bar features several striking designs, immortalising the Night\u2019s King. It is near Dragonstone \u2013 the filming location otherwise known as Downhill Strand.<\/p>\n

The first door (from episode one) is hanging in The Cuan guest inn in Strangford \u2013 near the filming locations of Castle Ward and Audley\u2019s Castle. The second door is hanging in Fiddlers Green in Portaferry, near Quintin Bay. The third door, in the Percy French restaurant in Newcastle, is near Tollymore Forest Park; and the fourth door is in Blakes of the Hollow in Enniskillen, near Pollagollum Cave.<\/p>\n

Tourism Ireland has also unveiled its fifth \u2013 limited edition \u2013 Game of Thrones\u00ae stamp, another element of its campaign, produced in conjunction with the Royal Mail.<\/p>\n
