Giant's Causeway is Northern Ireland's National Heritage site. It's a lovely hillside (cliffside?) filled with all sorts of volcanic formations, the most famous of which are the hexagonal pillars found all over the area.
I was amazed at how big they were. The main pillars were so tall that the people walking on the top just looked like tiny ants.
In addition to the pillars, there were also volcanic boulders (that were surprisingly spherical). I think they were my favourite part.
There was an art installation on the hillside by some English(?) artist whose name I forget. Everyone I was with was complaining about it and saying it was horrible, but I kind of like it.

It was a bunch of red and yellow flags positioned so that the whole thing looked different depending on where you were standing.
We spent most of the day wandering around The Causeway and I think it was my favourite part of the trip to Northern Ireland. It's really amazing natural area.
