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 6 km of sheer cliffs, rising to over 90 m. and forming a series of bays, are spectacular. The National Trust has provided a coastal path about 8 km. 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.
Carrick-a -Rede Rope Bridge
North Antrim office, 60 Causeway Road, Bushmills BT57 8SU Tel: 028 2073 1582 / 2143 Fax: 028 2073 2963 carrickarede@nationaltrust.org.uk
Carrick -A- Rede Rope Bridge is located on the North Antrim Coast between Ballycastle and Balintoy. It is an ideal spot to visit when visiting other attraction in the area such as the Giants Causeway or Dunluce Castle. Local fishermen have kept a bridge here since the mid 1600s. The name Carrick-A-Rede (Carraig-a-Rade) means the rock in the road the road being the sea migration route of salmon past the island to which the bridge crossed from the mainland.
