Giant's Causeway

Die Giant's Causeway is 'n rotsformasie van vulkaniese oorsprong en een van die natuurwonders van Ierland, geleë langs die noordkus van die Noord-Ierse graafskap Antrim, sowat drie myl (4,8 km) noordoos van Bushmills en sowat 60 myl (100 km) noordwes van Belfast. Die gebied bestaan uit sowat 40 000 simmetriese vertikale basaltkolomme met hoogtes van tot ses meter bestaan wat inmekaarpas soos 'n heuningkoek. Dit is deur Unesco in 1986 tot wêrelderfenisgebied verklaar. Binne die Verenigde Koninkryk het dit sedert 1987 die status van nasionale natuurreservaat.

Die grootste deel van die Giant's Causeway is tans in besit van die National Trust wat ook as bestuursliggaam optree en 'n besoekersentrum naby die rotsformasie opgerig het. Terwyl die Trust 'n toegangsgeld vra vir die sentrum, het die publiek gratis toegang tot die rotsformasie via 'n voetpad. Die res van die terrein is in staatsbesit as Crown Estate en in die besit van 'n aantal privaat grondeienaars.

Unmissable natural wonder. It's absolutely breathtaking and has to be seen to be believed. Go in the winter to beat the crowds—it's chilly, but worth it to get some clear photos.

Come early in the morning and don't let all the tourists ruin your experience, the blue trail gets busy indeed. Find a nice place to sit and admire the amazing things only mother nature can create.

Park on the road outside and walk through the car park. The charge is only for parking and the visitors centre, so skip on both and save yourself £10.50 per person

You don’t pay to go to the Causeway they want payment to park at the visitors center. Park down the road or at Bushmills. Take the red trail to start it’s longer but very beautiful!

A world heritage site. Give yourself some extra time to admire the beauty of the area. Also, you can take a shuttle up and down to the stones for a few pounds/euros.

I would recommend doing a self guided tour with audio. Do wear comfy shoes & clothes, it’s a lot of walking! Probably my favorite tourism spot in Ireland! Stunning.
