Last updated 30th Oct 2019
Game Of Thrones may be officially over after the eighth and final season aired in April 2019, but that doesn't mean that fans of the show are ready to call it a day. The TV series was one of the most popular series of all time - and has even spawned a Game Of Thrones spin-off series.
It will come as no surprise that fans of the show are desperate to relive it, and many are now booking holidays to the filming locations so that they can walk around the places that were used for many of the settings.
We've done a bit of research into the filming locations on the show... Take a look at these six Game of Thrones filming locations!
Lake Myvatn, Iceland
Lake Myvatn is the location used for filming Beyond the Wall. Nearby are the Myvatn Nature Baths and the dramatic Hverfjall Crater – perfect for an immersion into the wilderness that the Wildlings and White Walkers roam.
