The Giant's Causeway
The Giant's Causeway
is a magnificent, mysterious geological formation on the North East coast of Co Antrim steeped in myth and legend.
The setting is a spectacular dynamic coastal landscape of Atlantic waves, rugged cliffs, fascinating geographical antiquity, secluded bays and magnificent views. The Causeway forms a jagged headland of neatly packed columns which point towards Scotland. Visitors can walk along the basalt columns which are at the edge of the sea, almost two miles from the entrance to the site.
During your visit, why not call in to the Causeway Hotel for high tea, or travel by steam train along the coast to the historic town of Bushmills where there are ample places to stay. Accommodation includes the warm and welcoming Bushmills Inn, an award winning hotel, which originates from an old Coaching Inn and Mill House. Bushmills is also the home of the world famous “Old Bushmills” Distillery.
Guided day tours to the Giant's Causeway are available from Belfast, or take a few days and explore the sights along the Causeway Coastal Route, which includes the spectacular Antrim coast road and the Glens of Antrim.
