Giants Causeway 44a Causeway Road, Bushmills, BT57 8SU Tel (048) 20731582 www.nationaltrust.org The Giant's Causeway, 43 miles from Derry, is Northern Ireland's most famous sight. The Causeway proper is only part of its attraction. The 6km of sheer cliffs, rising to over 90m and forming a series of bays, are spectacular. The National Trust has provided a coastal path about 8km long from the entrance to the Causeway to beyond Dunseverick, near Whitepark Bay. A small bus takes visitors down to the Grand Causeway. The Grand Causeway is an astonishing complex of basalt columns packed together, whose tops form 'stepping stones' leading from the cliff foot and disappearing under the sea. Similar columns appear on the island of Staffa, in the Hebrides: hence the legend that this was a road built by the giant Finn MacCool to enable him to cross over to Scotland.
