Where was A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms filmed? The tree, Ashford, and all the locations
Posted by Ra Moon
Taking place about 90 years before Game of Thrones, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms was filmed primarily in Northern Ireland.
Based on George R. R. Martin’s Tales of Dunk and Egg books, the series follows the misadventures of Ser Duncan the Tall (Peter Claffey) and his sharp-witted squire, Egg (Dexter Sol Ansell), as they wander through Westeros.
Smaller stakes, fewer dragons… but still plenty of trouble, honour, and the occasional very bad decision — usually involving Dunk’s size or Egg’s mouth.
Here is our spoiler-free guide to all the filming locations of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. You’ll find the locations listed in order of first appearance.

The A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms tree
In the first episode, "The Hedge Knight", Dunk buries Ser Arlan of Pennytree in the Mourne Mountains in County Down, Northern Ireland.
The scenic twisted tree was a film prop, and the mountain range in the background is Hen Mountain.
At the moment, we don’t yet know where the inn where Dunk meets Egg was filmed, but many interior scenes were shot on sets built at Titanic Studios in Belfast.
Constructed inside former shipbuilding paint halls, the studios became internationally famous as the primary production base for Game of Thrones.
Since then, Titanic Studios has hosted numerous large-scale productions, including How to Train Your Dragon and Dungeons & Dragons.

Ashford in A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms
According to Redanian Intelligence, scenes set in the town of Ashford were filmed at Myra Castle, near Downpatrick, County Down.
The castle is located very close to Winterfell Castle and Demesne, the private estate used in GoT Season 1 to film exterior scenes of Winterfell.
Set amid woodland and open countryside, the estate remains privately owned and is not generally open to the public.

The Glenarm Castle estate in Glenarm, County Antrim, was used to film scenes set in the Ashford meadows.
This historic country house and its gardens, dating back to the 17th century, are the ancestral home of the Earls of Antrim.
Parts of the estate are open to visitors, and it was also a filming location for Game of Thrones, used for scenes set in the Riverlands.
