If you went online in order to search for the different places which you could visit in Belfast, you will always find the Giant's Causeway from the different suggestions that are found out there and that is exactly when all these different questions start to pop up so that people could know more about the destination they are heading to (
The Giant's Causeway is an area of about 40,000 interlocking basalt columns which resulted from an ancient volcanic eruption and which is located in county Antrim, northeast the town of Bushmills. This place always amazes the visitors who come to check it for the way those rocks are formed - or the way they have landed - since the tops of the columns form stepping stones that lead from the cliff foot and disappear under the sea (
The Giant's Causeway Visitor Centre opened in 1986 and the different facilities which could be now found there include the tourist information offices, the Bureau De Change, the accommodation booking service, an interpretive audio-visual presentation, as well as the gift shop - so there are different services which those going to check the site could make use of in general, making the whole place much more touristic and willing to accept different visitors (
As much as this is regarded as a different place that one could visit in Northern Ireland, it was actually regarded as the fourth greatest natural wonder in the United Kingdom in 2005 poll of Radio Times Readers.

There are interesting information which we got the chance to know about apart from the history of the place and the formation of those volcanic rocks. The Giant's Causeway is actually a haven for sea birds such as fulmar, petrel, cormorant, shag, redshank guillemot, and razorbill; this actually makes walking in this area trying to explore it much more interesting for seeing those sea birds along the way as well. In addition to the sea birds, we also found out that there are some plants which survived the feet of millions of visitors and which include the sea spleenwort, hare's foot trefoil, vernal squill, sea fescue, and frog orchid; this makes the whole place much more interesting for botanists who in summer could also check the great stretches of sea campion.
We believe that the Giant's Causeway is not just an important touristic attraction that should be visited in Northern Ireland by those visiting the country, but it is actually a place for the locals as well who are interested in the different types of birds as well as those botanists or even other people interested in plants to come and see what this place has to offer.
For those who will succeed to come to the Giant's Causeway and check this wonder in county Antrim in Northern Ireland, there are still other things which they should be doing, such as going to the Bushmills Distillery ( checking Bushmills town in general ( visiting the famous old Dunluce Castle ( and checking the old Carrick-A-Rede Rope Bridge which is a thrilling experience for lots of people (
It is always interesting to reach out for those famous destinations in the city you are traveling to and come back with lots of pictures - which is definitely one of the things which you should never forget to do when it comes to the Giant's Causeway - take pictures in this place of wonder.
Have you ever been to the Giant's Causeway before to check this place which is considered from the wonders of the UK? The Giant's Causeway is welcoming tourists and visitors all day long - of course apart from night trips - and the visitor centre could provide them with all the information they might be searching for. There are loads of places to stay around the Giant's Causeway - from camping, B&B to youth hostels all the way to hotels.

Giant's Causeway - 360 Degree Video - Near Bushmills
Any excuse to visit the Giant's Causeway - this is a 360 Degree Video from a late evening visit we had there. Hopefully you can get a feel for the area; the waves crashing in the famous stone designs (
Is giant's causeway man made? Is a question we have heard :-) Well Ireland's stepping stones to the giants are volcanic columnar basalt - which have been in place many, many, many years before man :-). It is true you can see Scotland on a clear day from the Giant's Causeway - you should also check out the Giant's Causeway's Organ and the Giant's Causeway Boot. A great day out for one and all! :-)
Being the result of an ancient volcanic eruption, the Giant's Causeway is now an important location in Northern Ireland that people come from all around the country and sometimes even from all around the world to check it. This area of about 40,000 interlocking basalt columns is located in county Antrim, Northern Ireland, about three miles northeast of the town of Bushmills (
Are you still asking about the reason why you are supposed to visit the Giant's Causeway? Okay, this location is placed on different lists that add to its importance, such as being declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO, a natural nature reserve by the Department of the Environment for Northern Ireland, and it was also named the fourth greatest natural wonder in the United Kingdom. Generally speaking, the Giant's Causeway and the Causeway coast are considered from the top tourist attractions in Northern Ireland.
The columns found in the Giant's Causeway have their tops forming stepping stones that lead from the cliff foot and disappear under the sea. Most of these columns are hexagonal although there are also some with four, five, seven, or eight sides. The tallest of these columns is 12 meters high and the solidified lava in the cliffs is 28 meters thick in places.
The main reason why this place is called the Giant's Causeway goes back to the legend that says that these columns are the remains of a causeway that was built by a giant back in the old days.
The way this historical place came from under the lights to be paid attention to started when the Dublin artist, Susanna Drury, made watercolor paintings of it in 1739 and won the first award presented by the Royal Dublin Society in 1740 and were engraved in 1743. Then the locations became popular in the 19th century after the opening of the Giant's Causeway Tramway.
This is definitely a place never to miss visiting when it comes to Northern Ireland, since visitors are allowed to walk over the basalt columns which are at the edge of the sea, a half mile walk from the entrance of the site. On the site of the Giant's Causeway, there are different things that you would stumble upon, such as the Organ and Giant's Boot structures, the reddish and weathered low columns known as the Giant's Eyes which were created by the displacement of the basalt boulders; the Shepherd's Steps, the Honeycomb, the Giant's Harp, the Chimney stacks, the Giant's Gate, and the Camel's Hump.
Actually, the Giant's Causeway became a visiting attraction and is actually prepared for receiving lots of tourists due to the number of things that one could find there; such as the visitor center, the coffee shop that one could stop at during the visit and after the walking that would be done, shops that one could get a souvenir from, as well as the facilities offered for the public to make the whole thing easier for them and to make their visit more interesting.
Discovering those amazing stones of Giant's Causeway should definitely be on the list of things to do in Northern Ireland and one of the attractions that should be placed on the top of your list for the amazing history it carries behind and the way it was formed mainly by nature.
There are of course other places in Northern Ireland which we might state in the list of natural places that one should pass by during the visit to Northern Ireland and which include the White Rock Portrush in County Antrim Causeway Coastal Route ( or the Ballymacran Bank on Lough Foyle, Causeway Coastal Route as well (
Let us suggest some places to head to in Northern Ireland, some are close to the Giant's Causeway and you might even stop by on your way. There is the Bushmills Town which is close to the Giant's Causeway ( there is also the Torr Head, Ballycastle in county Antrim which is on the way to the Causeway Coastal Route ( and there is also the Causeway Coastal Route which one could check and which is on the Myroe Lough Foyle in Limavady (
The Giant's Causeway should never be removed from the different historical touristic places to visit in Northern Ireland.

Giant's Causeway, Northern Ireland(Myth in the description)
44 Causeway Rd, Bushmills, Co Antrim BT57 8SU, United Kingdom
According to legend, the columns are the remains of a causeway built by a giant. The story goes that the Irish giant Fionn mac Cumhaill (Finn MacCool) was challenged to a fight by the Scottish giant Benandonner. Fionn accepted the challenge and built the causeway across the North Channel so that the two giants could meet. In one version of the story, Fionn defeats Benandonner. In another, Fionn hides from Benandonner when he realises that his foe is much bigger than him. Fionn's wife, Úna, disguises Fionn as a baby and tucks him in a cradle. When Benandonner sees the size of the 'baby', he reckons that its father, Fionn, must be a giant among giants. He flees back to Scotland in fright, destroying the causeway behind him so that Fionn could not follow. Across the sea, there are identical basalt columns (a part of the same ancient lava flow) at Fingal's Cave on the Scottish isle of Staffa, and it is possible that the story was influenced by this
