The Giant's Causeway is made from 40,000 interlocking basalt columns. The only World Heritage Site in Northern Ireland, it’s the result of an ancient volcanic eruption. Must-see experiences at the Giant Causeway include the Grand Causeway, which is the largest of the three rock outcrops that form the Giant’s Causeway. The Giant’s Boot at the end of a pathway leading to the sea is probably the most popular attraction, and the naturally formed Wishing Chair is another must-see. The Camel and the 167 Shepherd’s Steps round out the list. The Giant’s Causeway Visitor Center opened in 2012, the result of an international architectural competition.
