This incredibly unique geological phenomena has to be seen to be believed. Consisting of over 37,000 geometrically shaped columns of volcanic basalt, the Giants Causeway reaches from the shoreline out into the sea. Legend has it that the island was formed by the giant Finn McCool who built it to link Ireland with Scotland. Entry to the causeway is free. A visitors centre provides exhibits and other relevant tourist information.

In the outdoor gardens the herbaceous borders are attractive as are the colourful rose gardens that thrive in the moist Irish air.
