I'm not one for hyperbole but the Giant's Causeway is a true wonder of the world where thousands of basalt columns tumble into the Atlantic.

Some people say that it was formed by intense volcanic activity over thousand of years but really everyone knows it was formed by a fight between an Irish giant called Finn McCool who created a causeway to get across the Irish Sea to face his rival, the Scottish giant Benandonner.

Following their fearsome meeting, Benandonner ripped up the causeway as he fled back to Scotland, leaving what you see here today.

Finn McCool's giant boot also lies fossilised at the Giant's Causeway in the bay locals refer to as 'Port Noffer' or 'bay of the giant.'

From the visitor centre, you can take a leisurely 20-minute walk down the main path to the stones themselves, or if you're feeling more adventurous, tackle the red trail for some truly breathtaking clifftop views. It's a place of myth and geology that you can explore at your own pace, feeling the sea spray and climbing over the ancient, geometric stones.

Please note, you will likely have to pay for parking nearby.
