The Giant’s Causeway is located near Bushmills on the beautiful Irish coast. Unarguably, an amazing place where a very long time ago a volcanic eruption left thousands of interlocking basalt formations (mostly hexagonal rocks) on the beach and far out in to the sea. Access is allowed on the cliffs, beach, and basalt formations. This enables visitors an up close and very personal experience. Upon a first glimpse, it is understood that this is now a UNESCO World Heritage site. Giant’s Causeway (the name) comes from Irish legend. We (My wife and I) heard two stories from local folk while we were there and we found both stoires entertaining. Each story attributed the name to Fin McCool (an Irish warrior). My favorite version told of the giant falling in love and marrying a lovely Irish girl (also a giant) who lived across the waters. In a show of love and a basic need, Fin McCool built the causeway in order to bring his bride across the waters to her new home. This is a special and beautiful location to experience. In planning for a visit, this would be an wonderful place to have a picnic and relax after exploring. Do not forget your camera as you will definitely want to take some pictures. Good journeys!

The Giant's Causeway is an area of about 40,000 interlocking basalt columns, the result of an ancient volantic eruption. It is located on the northeast coast of Northern Ireland, about two miles (3 km) north of the town of Bushmills. The tops of the columns form stepping stones that lead from the cliff foot and disappear under the sea. Most of the columns are hexagonal although there are also some with four, five, seven and eight sides. The tallest are about 12 metres high, and the solidified lava in the cliffs is 28 metres thick in places.

Been here a few times now (bringing foreign friends). It's still very beautiful and so nice to see some many people from other countries. I would advise that if you are driving from the south to take the coastal route from Belfast northwards. It really is a beautiful drive.

Giant's Causeway is a beautiful creation of Mother Nature alongside the north coast of Northern Ireland. Rocks in the form of pentagons and hexagons surrounded by the rough Irish cliffs make this an amazing place to visit. The place is appropriately called the eighth wonder of the world.
