Several locations that were used to film scenes of hit TV show Game of Thrones are set to be opened to the public next year.
Some of the most famous landmarks in the show, such as Winterfell, were filmed in Northern Ireland.
Now HBO intends to celebrate the show's legacy by converting some of the Northern Ireland filming locations into tourist attractions.
The award-winning TV series has just recently completed filming for its final season, which is due to be released next year.
Several film locations in Northern Ireland that were used for scenes from Game of Thrones will be opened up to fans next year as part of the series' legacy project. Pictured is Winterfell, the home of the Stark family that is located in Castle Ward, Northern Ireland
The eight and final season will bring an end to the epic tale of families struggling for supremacy in the fictional world of Westeros.
The stars of the series, including Emilia Clarke, Kit Harington, Sophie Turner and Natalie Dormer, have been filming at locations and studios across Northern Ireland for around 10 years.
The US production company wants to also open up production archives to share with fans.
The tourist sites will include film sets together with displays of costumes, props, weapons, set decorations, art files, models and other production materials.
As well as the locations being opened up, several sets will be made available to the public and they will be filled with art, weapons and other props from the ten years of Game of Thrones filming

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
