Giants Causeway

This is a honeycomb pattern of 40,000 columns is the home of our legendary giant Finn McCool. Legend has it, Finn had a gripe with a giant in Scotland called Benandonner. Fionn wasn’t a great swimmer so he needed another way to cross to fight his enemy.

The story goes says that these giants hated one another. So one day after enduring insults from his nemesis in Scotland, Fionn built a path to use as stepping-stones to reach him, which were then ripped up by Benandonner. The result is what we see today the Giant’s Causeway.

Science dates the causeway to 60 million years when it was created by volcanic activity. Here you can hop over the stones or just sit and absorb the stunning causeway that has led it to be one of the most remarkable natural sites in Europe.
