The Giant's Causeway

The Giant's Causeway National Trust is a charity caring for Special Places, For Ever, For Everyone. Come and walk in the footsteps of Giants.

The unique geology of the Giant's Causeway makes it a UNESCO World Heritage site and Northern Ireland's most popular tourist attraction. Nearly 40,000 polygonal basalt columns packed closely together form a pathway of stepping stones stretching out to sea. The columns were formed by the cooling and shrinking of molten lava from a volcanic eruption over 60 million years ago. But the unique nature o

f the Causeway has fuelled the imagination of locals and visitors for centuries. Legend tells us the Giant Finn McCool created the Causeway as a challenge to his Scottish rival, Benandonner. Come and find out more by exploring our new visitors centre and having your own adventure. Come and find Finn's boot, abandoned on the shore. See his
chimney stacks reach into the sky. And don't forget to make a wish at the Wishing Chair...

Nature can’t “wait a wee minute.” Today, Northern Ireland is one of the most nature-depleted places in the world.

Nature is essential to all of our lives. It’s the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat. It protects our communities from flooding and extreme heat, supports our health and wellbeing, and brings beauty and connection to our everyday lives.

It is not a nice-to-have. And it is not a blocker to growth.

Yet nature is in freefall. Wildlife continues to decline, water quality is failing, and too many people are increasingly cut off from the natural spaces that help communities thrive.

That’s why today we are launching a Nature=Future e-action, a campaign calling on the NI Government to act now to:

🌱 Restore nature
🦋 Protect and invest in wildlife
🏡 Build resilient futures for communities

We’re asking people across Northern Ireland to contact their MLAs and demand action. Please click the link below and show your support⬇️

🥰 No trending audio required here…

Is there anything more magical than strolling along the coastal path, with the iconic basalt columns ahead, blue skies all round, breathing in the fresh sea air, only to discover a breath-taking drift of bluebells beneath the cliffs?😍

That’s exactly what awaits you if you’re planning to visit the World Heritage Site in the coming weeks!🪻

For years, these native bluebells lay hidden beneath the dense bracken, blackthorn and bramble, with scrub towering as high as your chin! Now, thanks to the dedicated work of the Conservation Volunteer Ranger team, a show-stopping sweep of bluebells have burst into life🫶

Spring has officially levelled up at the Causeway💙

📸 Planning to visit soon? We’d love to see the magical wonders of the site through your eyes - tag us in your pics to feature on our page!
