The Giants Causeway

You can’t beat a Road Trip and the Giants Causeway is right up there with the best of them for spectacular scenery stretching some 120 miles along the coast of northern Ireland from Belfast to Limavady. Along this route are enough detours and interesting things to see and do without even venturing inland to the wild, romantic glens of Antrim which are steeped in myths and legends.
When you see it you will realise how it got it's name, as a series of stepping stones for the giants of Ireland to cross into Scotland and beyond. These strange 6 sided basalt columns appearing to rise out of the sea are quite rightly considered to be part of our worldwide heritage. Protected by Unesco, you can visit the site though caution is advised in high seas....
