Any excuse to visit the Giant's Causeway - this is a 360 Degree Video from a late evening visit we had there. Hopefully you can get a feel for the area; the waves crashing in the famous stone designs (

Is giant's causeway man made? Is a question we have heard :-) Well Ireland's stepping stones to the giants are volcanic columnar basalt - which have been in place many, many, many years before man :-). It is true you can see Scotland on a clear day from the Giant's Causeway - you should also check out the Giant's Causeway's Organ and the Giant's Causeway Boot. A great day out for one and all! :-)
Being the result of an ancient volcanic eruption, the Giant's Causeway is now an important location in Northern Ireland that people come from all around the country and sometimes even from all around the world to check it. This area of about 40,000 interlocking basalt columns is located in county Antrim, Northern Ireland, about three miles northeast of the town of Bushmills (

Are you still asking about the reason why you are supposed to visit the Giant's Causeway? Okay, this location is placed on different lists that add to its importance, such as being declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO, a natural nature reserve by the Department of the Environment for Northern Ireland, and it was also named the fourth greatest natural wonder in the United Kingdom. Generally speaking, the Giant's Causeway and the Causeway coast are considered from the top tourist attractions in Northern Ireland.
The columns found in the Giant's Causeway have their tops forming stepping stones that lead from the cliff foot and disappear under the sea. Most of these columns are hexagonal although there are also some with four, five, seven, or eight sides. The tallest of these columns is 12 meters high and the solidified lava in the cliffs is 28 meters thick in places.
The main reason why this place is called the Giant's Causeway goes back to the legend that says that these columns are the remains of a causeway that was built by a giant back in the old days.
The way this historical place came from under the lights to be paid attention to started when the Dublin artist, Susanna Drury, made watercolor paintings of it in 1739 and won the first award presented by the Royal Dublin Society in 1740 and were engraved in 1743. Then the locations became popular in the 19th century after the opening of the Giant's Causeway Tramway.
This is definitely a place never to miss visiting when it comes to Northern Ireland, since visitors are allowed to walk over the basalt columns which are at the edge of the sea, a half mile walk from the entrance of the site. On the site of the Giant's Causeway, there are different things that you would stumble upon, such as the Organ and Giant's Boot structures, the reddish and weathered low columns known as the Giant's Eyes which were created by the displacement of the basalt boulders; the Shepherd's Steps, the Honeycomb, the Giant's Harp, the Chimney stacks, the Giant's Gate, and the Camel's Hump.
Actually, the Giant's Causeway became a visiting attraction and is actually prepared for receiving lots of tourists due to the number of things that one could find there; such as the visitor center, the coffee shop that one could stop at during the visit and after the walking that would be done, shops that one could get a souvenir from, as well as the facilities offered for the public to make the whole thing easier for them and to make their visit more interesting.
Discovering those amazing stones of Giant's Causeway should definitely be on the list of things to do in Northern Ireland and one of the attractions that should be placed on the top of your list for the amazing history it carries behind and the way it was formed mainly by nature.
There are of course other places in Northern Ireland which we might state in the list of "natural" places that one should pass by during the visit to Northern Ireland and which include the White Rock Portrush in County Antrim Causeway Coastal Route (
