The Giants Causeway

The iconic natural wonder that is The Giant's Causeway is a must see during your stay in Ireland.  The Giant's Causeway was formed over 60 million years ago from volcanic activity.  As lava flowed into the sea and cooled, the hexagonal basalt columns were formed.

When visiting the Casueway, you should stop by the famous rope bridge in Ballycastle.  Built over 350 years ago by local fishermen, crossing it brings you from the mainland to a small island.  Perfect for thrill seekers, crossing the bridge gives you stunning views, 30ft above the crashing waves.
