DUBLIN, July 17, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Game of Thrones® season 7 has finally hit the screens. Northern Ireland is one of the main filming locations for the hit TV series, and to immortalise the unforgettable series locations, from Winterfell to the Iron Islands, Tourism Ireland has unveiled a giant, 77-metre long, Bayeux-style tapestry.
The epic tapestry brings to life the trials and tribulations of the show's characters in its most heroic and infamous scenes.
