Giant’s Causeway, Northern Ireland

It is very simple how legends grew up around this magnum opus. Volcanic flare-up has fashioned thousands of basalt columns into clear-cut hexagonal shapes, clustered in concert like organ pipes. It’s almost unfeasible to deem that they haven’t been engraved by human hands. The folklore of the place has the celebrated combatant Finn McCool swapping shouted threats with a Scottish giant over the sea. They started to make a jetty so they could get their hands on each other. Geology also supports the myth as there are similar structures on the Scottish side of the sea as well. Make sure you visit the sculptural structures like the Giant’s Boot and the Chimney Stacks.
