Day 3 - Full Day Giant's Causeway & Ballymena

A scenic spectacular awaits as we make our way to the coast to visit the Giant’s Causeway. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, 40,000 basalt columns stretch out into the sea, created by volcanic activity some 50 million years ago. Inspiring myths and legends of giant’s striding across the waters to Scotland, the Grand Causeway is the largest of the three rocky outcrops and one of the most photographed sights in the UK! From the award-winning Visitor Centre shuttle buses run up and down to the Giant’s Causeway (payable locally).

There is a beautiful waterfall walkway, stunning Georgian architecture and a host of local craft shops, decorative gardens and plenty of restaurants and cafes to enjoy.

Belfast has plenty to offer from High Street shopping to the traditional St George's Market, attractions from the impressive City Hall to modern Titanic Belfast, and a range of pubs where you could enjoy a pint of the 'black stuff' - why not head to the ornate Crown Saloon - one of the city's oldest establishments!
