The Causeway Coast

The Causeway Coast

The Giant’s Causeway is the main attraction, with a busy car park and crowds of people. The hexagonal columns are indeed fascinating, reaching out into the sea, and hard to imagine as anything other than manmade. But the walk along the North Antrim Cliff Path takes you away from the bumbling crowds and high onto the cliffs looking down onto more towering formations and wheeling seabirds. Not wanting to complete the one-way walk to Dunseverick Castle, we found enjoyment enough walking for 45 minutes or so, sheltering from the wind for a packed lunch, and then turning back.

Ballintoy seems to be a popular end point, with a picture postcard harbour. Exploring the harbour, I had the shock of my life as a pair of horns lurched out the water and a I realised a dead bloated cow was bobbing just below the surface against the harbour walls. Coming across another a little further along we can only conclude these unfortunate animals fell off the cliffs!
