Giant's Causeway is a unique phenomenon that is located at 1:30 h by car from Belfast.
1:30h riding you will not even feel it because the road is great and nature is beautiful.
We bought tickets online where we paid them 15 pounds, and picked them up at the Visitor Center.
At the entrance you get a device with a tape and you can hang it around your neck. That's your personal guide.
The entire Giant's Causeway space is divided into "points" that are well-explained on that device in multiple languages. When you pass by a point, turn on your guide to tell you something more about it.
As we descend from the Visitor Center towards the Gulf, it opens up a beautiful view of the Irish landscape.
The giant passage is an area of 40,000 connected basalt pillars that were created by the volcanic eruption in the Paleogene (50-60 million years ago).
It is located in County Antrim on the northeastern coast of Northern Ireland, about 3 miles north of the town Bushmills.
In 1986, it was added to UNESCO's list of world heritage sites in Europe as a unique example of rapid cooling of basalt lava. Most columns are hexagonal, although there are also columns with fewer pages. The tallest ones are 12 m tall, and the tempered lava is 28 meters thick in some places.
In the Middle Ages, the legacy of the Giant's Passage was built by Irish warrior Fionn mac Cumhaill to fight his Scottish rivals Benandonner. Hence its name, "The Giant’s Causeway".
This is a truly unique sight, which if you ask me is not well-known in the world.
After seeing Giant's Causeway, we decided to go to town Bushmills and drink tea.
I forgot to emphasize that we rented a car and driven the left side, which is pretty unusual for Europeans, and that was a very good and new experience. And if I can notice, I like the left-hand drive.
Even though I do not drink tea and I am not his lover you have to admit that this looks good?
