The spectacular area is an important global geological phenomenon, comprised of some 40,000 large, regularly shaped polygonal columns of basalt in perfect horizontal sections, forming a pavement. It is protected by UNESCO not only for its beauty, but also for its cliffs, seashores, marshes, and grasslands that are home to more than 50 species of birds, as well as more than 200 species of plants. <br> <br> Visit Dunluce Castle, Old Bushmills Distillery, Bushmills Railway, Dunseverick Castle, National Trust Carrick-a-Rede, and so much more!
