Six more of the iconic beech trees that form the tree tunnel known as the Dark Hedges are to be taken down this month.

It's possible that only 75 of the approximately 150 trees will remain, there are 86 currently but six will be removed and remedial work, if not also complete removal, will be carried out to at least another five trees.

They don't quite look like in the image here anymore with all that grass and shrubby goodness at ground level.

Since becoming famous for that tiny segment as the King's Road in Game of Thrones, traffic levels and visitors have taken their toll on the scenic beauty spot.

For over 200 years this has been one of the most scenic roads in Ireland, perhaps when the replanted beech trees mature again in several decades it can be reclaim that accolade.

Last day errands: dropping off a package near the airport meant a visit through the Tree Tunnel more than once, a drive through Lihue (saw this theater by accident but grateful to have seen it at all) and an acknowledgement of how they milk the Jurassic Park association (the first movie, again, was filmed here) while the weather looked absolutely foreboding (it wasn’t).
