UNESCO World Heritage Site that has attracted international attention for its unique geological make-up
Giants Causeway
Georgina Campbell
Volcanic activity 60 million years ago led to the formation of the 38,000 basalt columns that make up the Giant's Causeway. Hexagonal in shape, the stones stretch far out into sea and some stand as tall as 36ft (12m).
The site has attracted international attention for its unique geological make-up and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
