The Stormlands: Cushendun Caves, Northern Ireland
Cushendun is a small coastal village in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. It sits off the A2 coast road between Cushendall and Ball castle. It has a sheltered harbor and lies at the mouth of an elevated beach at the outflow of the Glendun and Glencorp valleys and the mouth of the River Dun. The caves are easily accessible by foot along the coast from the village. In the 2001 Census, it had a population of 138 people. It is part of Causeway Coast and Glens district. The beautiful area appeared in Game of Thrones season two as a cove in the Stormlands – the memorable scene saw Melisandre give birth to the shadow creature.
