Larrybane Quarry is one of the many stunning Northern Ireland locations used in Game of Thrones.
The site featured in the third episode of Season 2, during a key scene involving King Renly Baratheon’s war camp.
In this episode, Catelyn Stark arrives to negotiate an alliance between Renly and her son, Robb Stark. While she approaches, Renly and Queen Margaery Tyrell are watching a tournament between Ser Loras Tyrell and an unknown challenger, Brienne of Tarth.
After defeating Loras, Brienne is granted a place in Renly’s Kingsguard, marking her rise as one of the show’s most iconic characters.
The setting at Larrybane, an old chalk quarry perched above the coastline, offered HBO an unforgettable natural backdrop.
On a clear day, Rathlin Island can be seen from the site. Today, the quarry serves as an overspill car park for the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, and remains easily accessible to those curious about its filming history.
