CAUSEWAY ROAD TRIPPIN’
Antrim to Derry
Game of Thrones fan alert! Look out for Theon Greyjoy stepping ashore at tiny Ballintoy harbour.
Next up is the challenging and scenic Dunseverick coastal hike. This steep, often muddy trail, culminates in your arrival at the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Giant's Causeway. Duration: 2 hours 30 minutes.
Science tells us that the Giant’s Causeway was formed millions of years ago when volcanic magma cooled into 40,000 hexagonal basalt columns. Irish folklore, on the other hand, tells a different story. According to the legend, Finn McCool and his giant-fighting ways are to blame!
