try to visit when weather is good. Spend a whole day walking around this site. One of the places you must not miss when visiting Northern Ireland. Lots of local accommodation with home cooking nearby and reasonably priced. more

Best time to visit is summer, at sunset, when the red sky colours the rocks. Walk down, and take small track to the left, so that you arrive looking up at the columns. Don't forget to walk past the main Causeway into the 'Amphitheatre', for the quieter atmosphere and the magnificent cliffs. Revisit in daylight to walk along the cliff... more

The Giant’s Causeway is located near Bushmills on the Irish Coast . It is a beautiful place where a long time ago a volcanic eruption left thousands of interlocking basalt formations (mostly hexagonal rocks) on the beach and far out in to the sea. Visitors are allowed to venture on the cliffs, beach, and basalt formations and take in the... more

Of all of the places I have visited, this is one where the sheer raw beauty of the site was breathtaking and at times overwhelming. There is no way that I can express my personal feelings and awe standing at this site. I hope to return someday with others to share the experience with others. more

Don't be put off by the initial view as you come around the headland. It seems so small, however, when you get up close, it becomes clearer and you can see the rock formation more clearly, and this is when you realise how unusual it is. You do need to climb on top of the rocks to get the best... more

Many people are disappointed when the reach the Causeway because they have expectations of something larger and more magnificent but if you are a geology fan or a collector great myths then this is the place to see. At present it suffers from the lack of a heritage centre and tourist amenities but hopeful this will soon be remedied. more

The perfect end to the Antrim Coast Road. £6.00 for the Car Park + £1.00 per passenger. Free entry if you walk down to the Causeway and back again, but there is a shuttle bus that ferries you there and back for about £3.00 round trip, definately worth it for older or less fit visitors. Can be a little busy... more

The Causeway at first glance seems to be a major let down. It is only when you actually stand on the Causeway that you can close your eyes and transport back in time to when Giants and leprechauns roamed as you and I do now. A site that needs to be done at a leisurely pace since the walk down... more
