How hard is it? 6½ miles; relaxed/moderate cliff trails along the exciting trails of the volcanic cliffs to the extraordinary promontory of the Giant’s Causeway, where there are 37,000 hexagonal columns. Explore the basalt formations of the bay in the distance, then ascend the curve of the towering cliffs and take the vintage tram back.
