"Haven't seen the last episode yet so depends which episode you are talking about? Most of it was shot in the Mournes and around Strangford Lough. "
Was thinking of you when I was writing the post as I know you head out walking
There's a particular scene where the mountains look pretty spectacular |

"I think it was the Mournes, they were certainly referenced (though why anyone would go from Belfast to the Mournes to head to the border, as someone suggested at one stage, is beyond me)."
Probably because it's not set in Belfast. It's a fictional area along Strangford Lough |

"The road he is driving on is the Trassey Road in the Mournes and the house he stops at is beside Happy Valley between Sliabh Meelmore and Meelbeg. "

"It's a stunning area I think sometimes we don't appreciate what amazing scenery we have so close to us. "
Really true...I've been taking my time to slow down during work and appreciate it more
Last week I walked an empty beach in Kilmore Quay and Saturday I stopped at a lake in Mullingar coming from longford just to admire the view and have a coffee |

The Mournes and near Silent valley. Spectacular area for walking and climbing too. People shouldn't be fooled by them either it's a big area and takes lives. There are some easy access and therefore popular areas and some far less popular. |

Well worth a detoure. The B27 out of kilkeel is a lovely one to drive through and turn off to Lough Shannagh. You have to retrace back as it's doesn't go on but it's well worth it. |

Continuity was crap though. The scenes were shot on the opposite side of the Mournes from silent valley and nowhere near the actual park.
The weather is changeable but to go from a full on blizzard to sunshine and not a snowflake to be seen on the same road is a bit of a leap.
And the trip from Trassey Road to the Strangford Ferry is almost an hour and not a few mins as they suggested.

The snow was an obvious mistake alright
Its a laugh watching a programme when you know the area it's filmed in
Love hate had people driving from Dublin airport to croke park via The Naas road in nearly every episode
At least "line of Duty" which starts back this weekend never actually mentions Belfast as far as I know

GOT, was filmed in all different locations and merged as are most productions.
We forget it's not live and yet we expect perfection.
I will say I've seen heavy snow lying with sunshine and only a few miles away, no snow with sunshine. This isn't that uncommon especially on the mountains, where one can have driving rain in one area and close by clear sunshine. |

LOD deliberately doesn't mention the city it's set in.
There does seem to be something about setting shows in Ireland, north or south, that has us watching the locations going 'that doesn't make sense.' I wonder do people do it in other cities round the world? |

Understand everyone’s comments about the areas used & no continuity. Remember it’s fiction, do they make a drama series using beautiful locations & keeping with the exact time to travel etc. in any other towns in the uk? I’d very much doubt it! Just my opinion lol  |
