"Where is my Valhalla in Ireland ? Kerry was very special," Suter told Tourism Ireland. "I went to the Cliffs of Moher last year which were very beautiful but there is something magical about Slieve League in Donegal .

"It's a great hike and kind of Viking! On my day off, I did like to go down to the Forty Foot in Dublin and have a swim there. That was very good for mind, body and soul.

"When I'm in the mood for some peace, a nice pub in Dublin with a book and a pint – and there's too many good pubs to pick one out!”

Vikings: Valhalla embark on one last adventure in Season 3, with co-creator and executive producer Jeb Stuart satisfied he has "shown the evolution of how three of the most famous Vikings became the icons we know today".

The series, which premiered in 2021, follows a new generation of legendary heroes a hundred years after the Vikings of the History Channel. Stuart said he "cannot wait" for fans to see "the conclusion of this chapter of history ".
