Mist veils the rugged coast as the Giant’s Causeway emerges from the Atlantic like a pathway to another world. Thousands of hexagonal basalt columns, worn smooth by centuries of wind and tide, jut from the shore in orderly chaos. Legend whispered that the Irish giant Finn McCool built the causeway to challenge his Scottish rival, only to retreat and destroy most of it, leaving the strange stones behind. Sea spray kisses the rocks, and the roar of waves mingles with the cries of seabirds. Standing there, it is easy to believe giants had once walked this wild edge of Ireland.
We depart Belfast at 0830 and wind our way along the Antrim Coast Road.
First Stop is Carrickfergus a town filled with history from the Normans to Prince William of Orange arriving in 1690. A photo opportunity awaits of this magnificent example of a Norman Castle!
From here we travel along the lough shore to Larne where we join the Antrim Coast Road, with sightseeing stops along the way.
On arrival at Giants Causeway, you will have at least 90 mins to wander down to the Stones. Please note that should you wish to visit the Visitors Centre, the entry fee is not included.
