Causeway Coast Way
One of Europe’s most beautiful natural wonders is Giant’s Causeway.  It’s just a short train ride from Belfast and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.  And it’s easy to see why. Legend has it, the arrangement of large stepping stones (actually tens of thousands of interlocking basalt columns) was the result of an argument between an Irish Giant and a Scottish Giant. The myth of Finn McCool makes for a great yarn, but a trip to the visitors centre offers a more scientific origin story involving volcanic activity. Either way, it’s a stunning coastline to behold. Go there to stomp around the ancient rocks and walk more of the Causeway Coast Way – it’s perfect for hiking.
