FILMING locations from Game of Thrones are set to open to the public from next year.

The Northern Irish spots will open to tourists for the first time as the final series ever airs on TV in 2019.

Fans of the show will be able to visit locations in the Westeros world where scenes from Winterfell, Kings Landing and Castle Black were filmed.

The proposed Game of Thrones Legacy project will also include a tour of Linen Mills Studios in Banbridge, Northern Ireland.

It’s expected that the tour will be “on a scale and scope bigger than anything the public has ever seen”, according to an official press release.

The sites will feature the sets that were used for filming, as well as exhibitions of costumes, props, weapons, models and artwork.

Exhibits will also feature “state of the art digital content and interactive media”.

Jeff Peters, Vice President of Licensing and Retail said: “HBO is thrilled to celebrate the work of the Game of Thrones creative team and crew by preserving these locations and inviting fans to visit Northern Ireland and explore Westeros in person.

“We look forward to opening the gates and sharing the excitement of stepping inside these amazing sets with Game of Thrones fans from around the world.

“The opportunity to celebrate Northern Ireland’s pivotal role in the life and legacy of the show and share its culture, beauty and warmth is also a huge inspiration behind these legacy projects.”

While plans are "tentative" and not yet exact on what will be included in the tour, read on for a guide on the Northern Irish locations that could be included.

Castle Ward (Winterfell)

Castle Ward is a National Trust-owned castle and fans will recognise its farmyard as the location of the Stark family's home.

The Winterfell set took eight weeks to build before it was used for filming.

The places that you can already visit

The beach in Coleraine is a a great spot for walks, and there's also views of the Mussenden Temple on the cliff.

The Dark Hedges (The King's Road)

These beautiful trees on Bregagh Road in Ballymoney were planted by the Stuart family in the eighteenth century in the approach to their Georgian mansion.

They are one of the most photographed natural scenes in Northern Ireland and were featured in season two, episode one of the show when Arya Stark escaped from King's Landing.

You can visit the Dark Hedges yourself as they are open to everyone, at all hours. The road is pedestrianised, with no cars allowed.

They will be part of the official tour when further details are announced.
