DUBLIN: Northern Ireland could score the best “Game of Thrones” tourist attraction. On the HBO show, it is the 300-mile barrier of ice fans know simply as “The Wall.” Looked over by the voluntary military order, the Night’s Watch, it’s the only thing that keeps the seven kingdoms safe from the wildlings and other free people, tribes that exist outside of the kingdoms.
Currently, the fantasy series is shooting its sixth season. But local representatives are looking to the future and hoping that HBO will leave the structure up after the series ends.
It is a magnificent site and it would be a massive tourist attraction,” Antrim parliament member Sammy Wilson told the Belfast Telegraph. “The number of buses and people who stop to try and get views of it.”
