Take it to the edge at this incredible UNESCO World Heritage Site along Northern Ireland’s Causeway Coastal Route.
There’s nothing modest about Northern Ireland’s coastline. Drive along the famous Causeway Coast, and one stunning site leads to another.
The craggy castle ruins of Dunluce Castle, the pale cream sands of Whiterocks Beach or the stunning views of the Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge are just some of the fine attractions. But as you weave along this great driving route, one sight jumps out as truly spectacular: the Giant’s Causeway.
Stand on the hills that gently arc this unique place and you’ll look down on thousands of basalt columns tumbling down into the Atlantic Ocean. It’s an epic sight, with a whopping 40,000 or so of these hexagonal-shaped stepping stones, which date back to a volcanic age almost 60 million years ago.
