Percy French Restaurant in Newcastle Co Down - part of the Hasting Group and the Slieve Donard Hotel hosts Door number 3 from Game of Thrones. The Newcastle Northern Ireland town is part of the epic Wooden Doors around Northern Ireland from the Dark Hedges that make up stories from the world famous GOT (Game of Thrones) TV show (

We always feel inspired by those different wooden doors which are created differently or any other kind of wooden art which is considered rare. When those doors in the Game of Thrones movie series appeared - there are ten of them scattered across Northern Ireland - we decided to visit them all and see how they look like in real. Actually, getting to see those doors in real is much different because you will get the chance to come closer and inspect every single part and piece, not like the quick scenes that pass in the movie.
One of those doors which we have been to is door number three which was found in the Percy French Restaurant at the Slieve Donard Hotel in Newcastle, Northern Ireland. The interesting thing about these places and those doors is the fact that they are never kept secret, people will know where they are from the signs that might be placed outside the place or else from the hints written about them in the restaurant, hotel, or pub that hosts the door - this is exactly the case with the Percy French which tells more about the door in its website.
There is a story behind those ten different doors which appear similar in the way they were created. Following the fall of some trees in the Dark Hedges, which is also a famous place visited in Northern Ireland and which also appeared in GOT (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmAKfkn11Qc), two of these huge trees were taken and the wood was transformed into ten different doors which were inspired by the season. With every single season, one of the doors was revealed to complete the story of the movie; these different doors are found in restaurants, hotels, and pubs - and here we are at one of them to check how it really looks like.
This door - door number 3 - depicts the demise of Reckon Stark's Direwolf, Shaggydog, the three eyed raven and the rise of House Greyjoy's family crest - the Kracken. This door stands as the entrance to the Percy French Restaurant - which might even attract those who are not fans of Game of Thrones and might have never watched any of the episodes before.
It is not just about those different doors that are located in Northern Ireland, but there are different scenes which are filmed in Northern Ireland as well, such as the Tollymore Forest Park which is even located near the Percy French Restaurant - so those who are thinking about making a trip that is all about Game of Thrones and its locations, they could come to check these two places during the same day (

We have visited different other doors to complete the whole 10 ones which appeared throughout the episodes. We have been to the Ballygally Castle Hotel where we have seen door number 9 (

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGZdoJdaWkg), and finally the Mary McBrides Bar where we have seen door number 8 (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyDD3LdIHu4); we are still looking forward to see the whole set and visit all those doors which were in the movie.
From the other general locations that appeared in the movie other than the Dark Hedges and the Tollymore Forest Park, we have been to the Cushendun Caves (

These are all different Game of Thrones locations which we have been to, whether it was for the purpose of checking the doors that appeared throughout the different episodes or else checking the whole location that might be much related to nature and the beauty of it.

Challenges Faced 🤔
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍
Creating Truly Random Links 🛠️
The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.
