First stop was Castlewellan Forest Park - what a great place - gardens, forest, lake and maze! Then we headed from Castlewellan to Newcastle - lovely beach, but was windy! Then to Tollymore Forest Park after an ice cream and Percy French's! On the way back to Belfast - we found Dundrum and it's amazing castle... Great day out and the sun was shining the whole time! :-) (

On this road trip that we were on, we stopped at different destinations. The first stop to be at was the Castlewellan Forest Park which is located in Castlewellan, Northern Ireland, and contains the National Arboretum of Northern Ireland that started back in 1740, bringing trees from different parts of the world, such as Asia, North and South America, as well as Australasia. The Castlewellan Castle which is also found in the same place is believed to be built back between 1856 and 1858 by a Scottish Family since it is a Scottish baronial castle that overlooks the Castlewellan Lake. The most famous thing about this forest park is the "peace maze" which contains 6,000 yew trees that were planted by volunteers from Northern Ireland and was considered the longest permanent hedge maze until 2007 (

Moving on to the second stop in our road trip, we reached Newcastle. Newcastle is known to be a small seaside town in County Down, Northern Ireland, that lies on the Irish sea on the foot of Slieve Donard, one of the Mourne Mountains, which is known for its sandy beach. The most important thing for this town is trying to promote itself as the activity resort in Northern Ireland, which is believed to be effective due to its location at the foot of Slieve Donard. We enjoyed our part of the day there although it was a little bit windy - we were surprised because the sun was up all the day!
The third stop we managed to make was at the Tollymore Forest Park; Yes, that is exactly where two different scenes in the Game of Thrones movie series were taken. So in addition to being curious about stopping at these points were the movie was once taken, it was also interesting to come to this forest in general in the first place. Tollymore Forest Park is considered a historical place since it is the first state forest park in Northern Ireland that is located at Bryansford, near the town of Newcastle in the Mourne and Slieve Croob area. There are 16 different bridges inside this park to allow people to cross over the Shimna River that flows through the park - where two different scenes of the movie were taken by two of them. For those who are willing to visit this forest park, there are four different walking traits to choose from - placed on the map - and which will tell you which on is considered the longest and which one is the shortest (

The fourth and final stop to be at was the Dundrum Castle which we stopped by on our way back to Belfast - it is important to differentiate between Dundrum Castle in Northern Ireland and Dundrum Castle in Dundrum, County Dublin. Dundrum Castle is situated above the town of Dundrum in County Down. This castle was constructed and built by John de Courcy on the top of a rocky hill that provides fine views south over Dundrum Bay and the Mourne Mountains, and lands west towards Slieve Croob and the plains of Lecale to the east; since it was originally built to control access into Lecale from the west and south (

During this road trip and passing by all those different places and stops, all what we managed to say was a big WOW! The green areas, the old buildings, the rivers, the mountains, and the overall views which we managed to receive every single time we stopped and looked around was really magnificent, we didn't want to go back home and leave all these views behind, but we had to :-)
You might choose to head to one place only, like checking the Tollymore Forest Park (

There are a lot of beautiful places in Northern Ireland - some we managed to visit while there are still lots of other places which we haven't been to yet (

Since we have visited this place in which some shots from Game of Thrones were taken, you could still visit other locations where this movie series was filmed (

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. 🔍
