I have been visiting the causeway for years and had got used to all the paths and facilities available. For the last few years there has been talk of a "Giant Cause" which is the overhaul of the current visitors centre and car park. Well it looks like the construction work has started and for the last year there has... More

As I mentioned, this trail is in my Top 10 List of Best Hiking Trails in the World. I recommend taking a taxi from Bushmills to Whitepark Bay hike the trail westbound towards Sheppard's Steps. Take the shuttle at the Causeway Visitor Center next to Sheppard's Steps back to Bushmills. I believe this route to be 6 to 8 miles... More

On a 2 1/2 week trip throughout Ireland I discovered at least three things: 1) Ireland is very green, cool and beautiful, 2) the Irish do indeed eat a lot of potatoes, and 3) the Irish Tourist Board seriously overhypes its "scenic wonders". While the Causeway is moderately interesting as a geological formation, the immediate coastal area is really the... More

I've been to the Giant's Causeway before this particular trip; however we were fortunate to have fantastic weather this time around. Although quieter than before (we went on a Monday) it was still incredibly busy. There is however some merit in wandering past the main point of the site and continuing up to the ridge above where it gets a... More

Fantastic what nature can do! We spent at least 3 hours there altogether, mostly sitting about on tuffs of grass watching the waves crash into the rocks just like the sea did thousands of years ago. Spectacular!

Upon arrival at the Gaints Causeway parking was quite a nightmare..some guy was directing us into a field by mistake, he then told us to park in a gravel carpark. We visited whilst they working on the new Building. Once parked we began the walk to the causeway, its quite a long tiring walk so if you elderly I would... More

We went early morning on a glorious sunshine day. Gentleman at the information was so friendly and helpful. Magnificent scenery - the stones are quite extraordinary. We were able to take great photos as there were no crowds. Enjoyed the walk to organ pipes but could go no further as there had been landslides. There is construction work on the... More

We took more photos here than anywhere else on our tour of the UK. It's a most amazing geological formation. We came here on McCombs tours which was pretty good. It was part of a package at the hotel we stayed at in Belfast, being Madison's. It was a beautiful, clear day and we could even see Scotland in the... More
