More information

The Giant's Causeway is a fascinating geological formation, steeped in mystery and legend, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

How was it formed?

The Giant's Causeway came to be after a volcanic eruption some 60 million years ago. The solidification of the lava as it reached the sea gave rise to an astonishing landscape of thousands of hexagonal basalt columns.

How to get to the Giant's Causeway

The easiest way to get to the Giant's Causeway is by hiring a car or booking a guided tour. Tours often depart from Dublin and Belfast, from which the journey takes 3 and 1.5 hours respectively.

Did you know...

Legend says that the Giant's Causeway was created by a famous Irish giant named Fionn Mac Cumhaill, who created a path between Ireland and Scotland after being threatened by another Scottish giant named Benandonner. The story goes that Benandonner destroyed the pathway out of fear, leaving only what now remains.
