The Giant’s Causeway is a UNESCO World Heritage Site located on the north coast of Northern Ireland near Bushmills. It’s pretty incredible, a collection of around 40,000 basalt rocks, mostly in hexagonal shapes (although some are tall columns), that act like stepping stones protruding from the ocean.

This incredible formation was left behind when an ancient volcano erupted 50-60 million years ago. Today, it is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Northern Ireland, boasting stunning views of the Causeway cliffs and captivating rock formations. Mythology and legend surround this dramatic area, such as the story of Finn MacCool, who built the causeway across the North Channel to meet a Scottish giant. Whether you are filled with awe or curiosity, the Giant's Causeway will satisfy your thirst for adventure! A must-see when travelling to Northern Ireland.
