Top places to visit

1. Giant's Causeway

Around 40,000 basalt columns were pushed up through the earth to create the Giant's Causeway. It is a striking and strange sight; one which has drawn in hordes of tourists since the 19th century. Today, the Giant's Causeway is owned by the National Trust, and impeccably preserved. The poster pin-up for Northern Ireland's tourism industry, it is an absolute must-see.
