Upon reaching Giant's Causeway, the 8th wonder of the world, be prepared to be met by the most spectacular sight, a giant among giants in the world of natural wonders. This wild and beautiful formation is a consequence of ancient volcanic activity, the solidified lava now layered across 40,000 hexagonal columns stretching for a distance of over 6 kilometers.

Next head to Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge. Traditionally fishermen erected the bridge to Carrick-a-Rede Island over a chasm 23m deep and 20m wide, to harvest salmon from their nets. Once you cross the bridge and reach Carrick Island, you will be rewarded with views of Rathlin Island and the Mull of Kintyre in Scotland.

Visit the Dark Hedges, planted by the Stuart family in the 18th century. They were intended to impress visitors as they approached the entrance to their home, Gracehill House. Two centuries later, the trees remain a magnificent sight and have become one of the most popular natural phenomena in Northern Ireland.
