do not miss out Giant’s causeway if you visit Northern Ireland!!! This is the main reason I visit the beautiful country
Tickets are not required for attractions, but the visitor center visits history + explainer, need 11.5 pounds, the bathroom is in the visitor center. From the visitor center to the Giant Road Coast, there are two roads, the seaside and the cliff road, the cliff road can enjoy the scenery from high places, if the weather is good, it is highly recommended. It takes half an hour to walk to the Giant Road. Tens of thousands of hexagonal or pentagon rocks are neatly covered with the entire beach. There are towering stone pillars on the side that have not been eroded by the sea. This small beach has flooded people all over the world. Come and see the magic of this nature, even in June, the sea breeze here is still a bit cold, if you come to play, it is best to bring more clothes.
A beautiful place to visit, stunning views, lots of nice places to eat, great scenery and the people are friendly.
