Where was 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' filmed?
"A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms was filmed across Northern Ireland. While viewers experience breathtaking scenery through their screens, it threw up a host of issues for the cast and crew. "It's very, very rainy, and the sets were so muddy", says Dexter Sol Ansell, who plays Egg - "If you stepped in the mud and stood still for more than five seconds... you're gone. You've been submerged.""
""They did the whole Ashford Meadow camp out in Glenarm", says Peter Claffey, who plays Ser Duncan the Tall. "Yes, the weather is challenging, but it's all completely negated by the crew that you work with... it was hard and it was long hours but you come into work and everything's made so much easier by the fact that everybody's got a smile on their face.""
"Glenarm Castle Estate is the ancestral home of the MacDonnell (or McDonnell) family, who have been in the area since the late 14th Century. The website states: " Glenarm Castle was built on its present site by Sorley Boy's son, Randal MacDonnell, 1st Earl of Antrim in 1636. However, only six years later, in 1642, the house was burned by a Scots Covenanter army who were attacking the royalist MacDonnells and so it remained a roofless ruin for over a hundred years.""
Filming for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms took place across Northern Ireland and used locations including Glenarm Castle Estate, Hen Mountain and Leitrim Lodge. Cast and crew faced very rainy and muddy conditions that made sets difficult to work on and created physical challenges during shoots. Glenarm Castle Estate served as a major site and has historical significance as the ancestral home of the MacDonnell family, with the main house built in 1636 and later burned in 1642. Hen Mountain and Leitrim Lodge doubled for The Reach and offer accessible walking routes for visitors.
