How many fans of George Martin's creation dreamed of visiting Winterfell? And in Riverrun? HBO will provide such an opportunity. If earlier favorite landscapes and castles could be seen only on screens, now they are open to the public.

This fort can be seen in the scenes with Brienne and Jaime, as well as during the show of the bet of Robb Stark, King of the North. 

Of course, if you do not take seriously the rumors about a possible prequel, this means the end of the Martin saga for many viewers who do not want to reread or wait for new books from the writer.

HBO does not agree with this state of affairs and wants to make a huge gift to all fans of the project – the opportunity to openly visit the filming sites in Northern Ireland and turn them into amusement parks.
