\"\"<\/a>31 May 2016<\/strong> \u2013 Episode six of season six of Game of Thrones\u00ae aired last night (Monday, 30 May) and Tourism Ireland unveiled its latest \u2018Door of Thrones\u2019 \u2013 this week in the Fullerton Arms in Ballintoy, the location for filming exterior Pyke shots and the Iron Islands in HBO\u2019s fantasy drama.<\/p>\n

Tourism Ireland is rolling out a major Game of Thrones\u00ae campaign until the end of June (when season six ends), showcasing Northern Ireland to millions of the show\u2019s fans worldwide. The campaign involves a series of ten carved doors, each one telling the story of the latest episode. The doors have been created using wood salvaged from two trees at the Dark Hedges (otherwise known as the Kingsroad in Game of Thrones\u00ae), which fell during Storm Gertrude.<\/p>\n

To date, the doors have been based on \u201cThe Red Woman\u201d, \u201cHome\u201d, \u201cOathbreaker\u201d, \u201cBook of Stranger\u201d and \u201cThe Doors\u201d. Echoing scenes from last night\u2019s episode, this week\u2019s intricately-carved door features striking designs and depicts Targaryens and dragons. It is now hanging in The Fullerton Arms.<\/p>\n

The first door (from episode one) is hanging in The Cuan guest inn in Strangford, 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; the fourth door is in Blakes of the Hollow in Enniskillen, near Pollagollum Cave; and the fifth door is in Frank Owens Bar in Limavady, near Downhill Strand.<\/p>\n

Tourism Ireland has also unveiled its sixth \u2013 limited edition \u2013 Game of Thrones\u00ae stamp, another element of its campaign, produced in conjunction with the Royal Mail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
