Shadows of the Kingsroad

In this evocative piece, the towering beech trees, steeped in history and mystery, loom ominously against a backdrop of darkness. Each brushstroke seems to whisper secrets of centuries past as if the trees themselves hold the echoes of time.

Originally planted by the Stuart family in the eighteenth century to embellish the approach to Gracehill House, the Dark Hedges have transcended their intended purpose to become a natural wonder of Northern Ireland.
