HBO and Tourism Ireland have teamed up to use Game of Thrones as a way of advertising our beautiful country to the rest of the world:

Welcoming the announcement Stormont Minister Arlene Foster said: “The partnership is a major coup for tourism and offers a unique opportunity to promote Northern Ireland, the home of the Game of Thrones series, in a brand new way to the many fans around the world.

“As the fan base has grown substantially over the first three seasons, everyone now wants a piece of the action. The hype is incredible and on the same level as many Hollywood blockbusters, this month’s ‘Vanity Fair’ has even devoted its front cover to a photograph of the cast with the stunning Antrim Coast Road as their picturesque backdrop.”

One of the images used comes from Pastiebap’s own resident photographer Neil Carey.  More of his stunning work can be found on Pastiebap here and on Neil’s facebook here.
