Giant's Causeway & Bushmills Railway — Attraction in Ireland

I had the pleasure of visiting the Giant’s Causeway this past Sunday, and it was an incredible experience. Although I arrived a bit late, around 5 PM, I still had plenty of time to explore. There's free parking available, which is convenient. From the parking area, there's a trail that leads you to your first stop, where you’ll find a hotel. If you're lucky, you might find parking there, saving yourself a 10-minute walk.The hotel also has a coffee shop where I enjoyed a delicious coffee—highly recommended if you need a quick pick-me-up.After the hotel, you can choose between two main trails: the Red Trail and the Green Trail. The Green Trail takes you down to the beach, while the Red Trail leads to the mountain top. I chose the Green Trail, and it did not disappoint. The scenery is breathtaking, and the rock formations, particularly the iconic basalt columns, are absolutely astonishing.Overall, the Giant’s Causeway is an amazing place with stunning views and unique geological features. It’s definitely a must-visit...

The Giant's Causeway is a geological wonder, a result of an ancient volcanic eruption that formed thousands of interlocking basalt columns.

However, the locals have a more fantastical explanation: The Legend of Finn McCool

According to the tour guide, the Irish giant Finn McCool was challenged to a fight by a Scottish giant named Benandonner. To reach his Scottish rival, Finn built the causeway across the North Channel.

When Benandonner arrived, he was much larger than Finn had anticipated. To avoid defeat, Finn's wife disguised him as a baby. When Benandonner saw the "baby," he was terrified of its size, believing the father must be enormous. He fled back to Scotland, destroying the causeway behind him.

While the legend is captivating, the scientific explanation is equally fascinating. The volcanic activity that created the causeway occurred around 60 million years ago, long before any giants roamed the Earth. Nevertheless, the legend adds a touch of magic to this...

Giant causeway is great itself.. Just the amenities for me is not that good. There is only 1 hotel, 1 pub and a tourist experience thingy (you need to pay for a package of more than 50£ just to be able to buy food). Being acknowledged as one of the world heritage, I thought the services should be better especially spring and summer. But overall, the Giant Causeway is worth to visit itself. Just bring your own food.

Additional review: Apologies for the confusion. Right, it was The Visitor Center that you need to pay entrance fee( A package to be able to buy food, gifts, etc.). I would appreciate my experience if I dont have to go there, but we had to inquire because when we went to The Nook, there are no available seats, and they dont offer take away. So, you practically being told that you dont have option to eat. We went to hotel and we have to wait for 20mins for a spot because again, you cant get takeaway. Like I said, just bring ur own food. You'll...
