Mussenden Temple by Downhill Strand
We managed to make it up to the top of the cliff overlooking the Downhill Strand where the Mussenden Temple was. The temple itself looks gorgeous and probably contributed a lot to the decision to make this site part of the Game of Thrones film locations. It is not difficult to imagine why when what I thought was just something computer generated was actually real. I guess you can’t blame me either. It is probably easier to generate something on a computer rather than actually building the thing. It is good to see that such mysterious places still exist even in a place like the United Kingdom.
A Look at Mussenden Temple
It is not difficult to imagine why the temple was built here in the first place. The location is great to build a rest house for. The temple here is probably something like a gazebo but with windows owing to the nature of the weather here. I don’t think it is possible to relax here with the cold wind constantly blowing at you. I’m not sure if there is a way to go down to the beach from this spot as we had to drive down the road to the main entrance. I would like to think there is since it would be quite impractical to walk all the way back there.
