"Legend has it that long ago when Goliaths roamed what is now known as the British Isles, they battled each other fiercely to expand their personal kingdoms. Irish giant Finn MacCool was challenged to a fight by the Scottish giant Benandonner. Finn accepted the challenge and built a land bridge, a Giant’s Causeway, across the North Channel from Ireland to Scotland to attack Benandonner.

Upon completion, Finn headed across the Giant’s Causeway but when he caught sight of Benandonner he realized his foe was a much larger giant so he hid while he rethought his strategy. Finn’s wife, Úna, cleverly dressed him as a baby and laid him in a cradle at the Irish end of the Giant’s Causeway. When Benandonner advanced and saw the huge “baby,” he assumed the baby’s father, Finn, was a giant among giants and promptly ran back to Scotland in fear, destroying the Giant’s Causeway behind him so Finn couldn’t follow."

Believe it or not, what you'll see when reached the end of a comfortable walk down to the sea, is something that belongs to an non-human entity, because such perfection and beaty can only be the work of art of Nature, the master architect herself.

Hundreds of exagonal pillars make a natural pier that leads you to the wild ocean's water, but you'll feel protected by the gorgeously green cliffs beside you.

Your sight can't easily contain all of it, but if you stay, tough the wind or rain try to make you give up, you can surely hear the giants marching.
