The Giant’s Causeway is an area of about 40,000 interlocking basalt columns, the result of an ancient volcanic eruption. It is located on the northeast coast about two miles north of the town of Bushmills. The Giant’s Causeway was named as the fourth greatest natural wonder in the UK.

The tops of the columns form stepping stones that lead from the cliff foot and disappear under the sea. Most of the columns are hexagonal, although there are also some with four, five, seven and eight sides. The tallest are about 12 metres (36 ft) high, and the solidified lava in the cliffs is 28 metres thick in places. Legend has it that the Irish warrior Finn McCool built the causeway to walk to Scotland. The Giant’s Causeway is the most popular tourist attraction in Northern Ireland.
