Vikings series filming in bog in Co Kildare

The Vikings series is currently filming in Co Kildare till Monday, locals said.

The History Channel show is on location in a bog in the Donadea/Staplestown area until at least Monday.

Season 6 of Vikings is expected to air on screens later this year.

Casting days were held in Dublin and Wicklow in June to find new extras for the series which is usually filmed in Luggala and Ashford in Co Wicklow.

Filming took place in recent weeks near Russellstown Reservoir on the Kildare/Wicklow border.

The cast and crew of Vikings have also in the past visited Kildare Town in late 2016 to shoot scenes near the Round Tower and St Brigid's Cathedral.
