Overview

Visitors to Ireland will not want to miss this awe-inspiring collection of 40,000 interlocking basalt columns, which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1986. Located on the northeastern seaboard in the county of Antrim, this area features some of the island of Ireland's most distinctive geographical features. Between fifty and sixty million years ago, the county of Antrim experienced severe volcanic activity, when molten basalt broke through the area's chalk beds and formed a vast lava plateau. The lava cooled forming the mostly hexagonal structures found at the giant's causeway today. Many myths and legends surround the World Heritage site, making it a thrilling and enchanting visitor destination.
