点评:The Dark Hedges, at their prime, were quite cool and they were the setting for several scenes in the Game of Thrones series.
But there was a problem. The trees, now roughly two centuries, were suffering the ravages of age, the tourist traffic was accelerating their demise, and winds and other forces of nature have taken their toll. Thus, they are not what they were even a few years ago. Not quite half of the trees have been lost.
This is still worth a visit, but finding it will be a challenge. We followed our GPS, which seemed to work with some trial and error. We saw a French tour group arrive from the other end of the road, most likely from the Dark Edges Hotel. That may be your best bet in a pinch.
If you are patient and can wait for the tour groups to pass, this is still a striking site and you can take some nice pictures, but it won't quite be the place you might be envisioning.
翻译:鼎盛时期的黑暗树篱景色迷人,曾是《权力的游戏》多部剧集的取景地。
然而,如今却出现了问题。这些树木已有近两百年的历史,饱受岁月侵蚀,游客的蜂拥而至加速了它们的衰败,风雨侵蚀也给它们带来了沉重的打击。因此,它们早已不复几年前的风采。近一半的树木已经凋零。
这里仍然值得一游,但找到它却并非易事。我们只能依靠GPS导航,虽然经过一番摸索,最终还是找到了目的地。我们看到一个法国旅行团从马路的另一端驶来,很可能是从黑暗树篱酒店出发的。如果你实在找不到,或许可以参考他们的路线。
如果你有耐心,能够等待旅行团离开,这里依然是一个令人印象深刻的景点,你可以拍一些不错的照片,但它可能不会像你想象中的那样美丽。
