The World Heritage site Giant’s Causeway is situated in County Antrim and is one of the UK’s best-known natural landmarks. A formation of some 40,000 interlocking basalt columns, Giant’s Causeway was formed as a result of an ancient volcanic eruption. Giant’s Causeway is a fun site to take the children to due to the striking nature of the rock formations, which also make a great Instagram backdrop!
Just be careful on the rocks – they can get slippery when the tide is in!
