The Dark Hedges , a tunnel of beech trees on the Bregagh Road near Armoy, became a popular Tourist Attraction after featuring in the series.

In 2017, but one campaigner said more needs to be done.

" As The Tree line diminishes and there is less shelter, you will lose them, " the campaigner told Bbc News NI.

The Dark Hedges are estimated to date Back To about 1775, however some of The Trees could be up to 300-years-old, according to Mr McCallion.

" The Situation of the management of the Dark Hedges and the actual road itself is not what I would consider to be ideal, " He Said .

Mr McCallion has been campaigning for more protection for The Trees for numerous years, but He Said progress is " virtually non-existent or very slow".

" We need to have a specialist body that will manage the Dark Hedges and influence some of The Other stakeholders like The Road Service and The Council to help them protect The Trees , " He Said .

" Because there is nobody in charge you have a situation where it's basically a free-for-all Down There . "

Mr McCallion added that the 2017 move to ban traffic from the area " hasn't been totally successful".

This is The Trees at the Dark Hedges have fallen in strong winds.
