Giant's Causeway

Walk on water across the Giant’s Causeway, one of the wonders of Northern Ireland. The causeway is an area of about 40,000 stone columns in Co. Antrim on the country's northeastern coast. The columns are up to 12 metres high and form a set of stepping-stones that go from the edge of a cliff out into the Atlantic Ocean.
                                                                                         
Scientists know that the causeway resulted from volcanic eruption about 60 million years ago. However, legend has it that an Irish warrior called Fionn mac Cumhaill built the causeway as a bridge to Scotland, where he was to fight a giant called Benandonner. Fionn’s wife convinced Benandonner that Fionn was even bigger than he was and the giant tore up most of the causeway so that Fionn couldn’t follow him home.
 
People first heard about the causeway in the late 1600s and today it’s Northern Ireland’s most popular tourist spot. You can walk over the columns at the edge of the sea, look out across the ocean to the Scottish coast, which is just 21 kilometres away, and see beautiful seabirds and rare plants. And be sure to visit the local village of Bushmills, which is home to the world’s oldest licensed distillery, the Old Bushmills Distillery.
