The Dark hedges - beware

[ceejayt]

Those familiar with Game of Thrones will know of the Dark hedges which you can visit in Northern Ireland. We went yesterday.

Just note, there is a barrier entry car park - barrier lifts when you arrive no problem and you pay on the way out with contactless £5 for a car and £25 for a coach.

On exit with a queue of cars behind us it assessed our 9m motorhome was a coach and demanded £25 -did not seem anyway to contact anybody for a problem so paid and left. be aware, if you have a larger vehicle you may be charged extra - worthwhile checking BEFORE you get to the barrier - might save you £20.

BTW - was worth the visit (maybe not £25 though)

Appeal with copy of V5c and declaring that your vehicle is not for hire and reward.

Did you press a higher level keypad by chance? Seem to think this is an issue in Bruges if parking in the aire / coach park

There are two keypads, the lower one automatically senses and is disabled

Cashing in, used to be free before Game of Thrones!

It was free when we went AFTER Game of Thrones - no car park but room to park

They have closed the road to traffic now and apparently the trees are dying one by one - very sad

Hmmm......a lack of Co2 due to road closure !
Everyone knows Co2 in, oxygen out.
