Dark Hedges
Okay kiddo, have you ever seen a spooky forest in a movie or TV show? Well, the Dark Hedges is a real-life spooky forest in Northern Ireland that looks like it's straight out of a storybook!
The Dark Hedges is actually a long road that's lined with really old trees, and they're all bent over the road in a spooky kind of way. People call it the Dark Hedges because the tree branches all stick out and it casts a lot of shadows on the road.
The reason the trees look like this is because they were planted around 200 years ago by a man named James Stuart to impress people who were coming to his big house. He wanted them to be like an entrance that would make people go "wow!"
Over the years, the trees grew and bent in the way they do now, and lots of people started to visit the road because it looked so cool. Some people say that the road is haunted by ghosts because it looks so spooky.
Now, the Dark Hedges is a really popular tourist spot! Lots of people go there to take pictures and see the spooky trees in person. Isn't that neat?
