History
The Giant's Causeway is made of around 40,000 interlocking basalt columns, formed when lava cooled and cracked around 50 to 60 million years ago. Most of the columns are six-sided.
Legend says the giant Finn McCool built it to cross the sea to Scotland. It became Northern Ireland's first UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1986 and is looked after by the National Trust.
