Probably Northern Ireland’s – and the UK's – most iconic natural attraction, this mythical geographical wonder is the region’s only designated UNESCO World Heritage Site. As its name suggests, the causeway is linked to two giants, Irish Finn McCool and his enemy Benandonner from Scotland.

Legend has it that the basalt steps were built by Finn as a pathway to Benandonner. The spectacular 40,000 hexagonal steps continue to wow sightseers from across the globe.
