Northern Ireland’s Dark Hedges trees, made famous by Game Of Thrones, are “coming to the end of their natural lives”, a new trust which is taking over management of the site has said.

The Causeway Coast and Glens Heritage Trust (CCGHT) is taking over management responsibility from the Dark Hedges Preservation Trust and will now work on plans for the future of the Co Antrim site.
