If you want to experience one of nature's true wonders in Ireland, make sure to visit the Giant's Causeway in County Antrim. It is a World Heritage Site after all. But what is it all about?

Strangely regular basalt columns dominate the landscape here, and these seem to lead straight into the sea, across to Scotland. Where similar columns then rise out of the sea.

Reputedly to cross the sea - because, you see, it had to be man-made, as nature very rarely produces such regular shapes. Though located in a quite remote area, the Giant's Causeway is definitely amongst the top sights and attractions to see in Ireland.

Reasons to Visit the Giant's Causeway

This is one of nature's true wonders in Ireland, where nature is wonderful as a rule.
The Giant's Causeway is very accessible, in a variety of ways, even for those not fleet of foot.
A visit can well be combined with the Old Bushmills Distillery or the Causeway Coast for a longer stay.
The remote location means a bit of driving, but can also offer some solitude, especially early in the morning or late in the afternoon.

What Is the Giant's Causeway?

This is one of the UNESCO designated World Heritage Sites in Ireland, mainly because of its strangely regular basalt rock formations. These were formed around 55,000,000 years ago, during volcanic activity.  their reputation of being the handiwork of Finn MacCool came into being a good few years later.
