A raw Atlantic morning meets the city as your taxi slips away from Belfast’s Georgian streets and onto the coast road. Salt and peat hang in the air; cliffs step down to surf that seems determined to push you east toward the Giant’s Causeway. You step out on hexagonal basalt like a natural staircase—each column a cool, ancient footfall under your boots—then roll back into the industrial memory of the city where the Titanic was imagined, designed and launched.
