Northern Ireland and Eire North East
The Giants Causeway
The coastal scenery adjacent to the causeway is some of the most beautiful and awe inspiring that you are likely to find anywhere in the world. The majestic cliffs and inaccessible bays combine with myth and legend to inspire. The Giant's Causeway, renowned for its polygonal columns of layered basalt, is the only World Heritage Site in Northern Ireland. Resulting from a volcanic eruption 60 million years ago, this is the focal point of a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and has attracted visitors for centuries. It harbours a wealth of local and natural history that can be enjoyed from the North Antrim Coastal Path.
