On the northern Irish coast, close to Bushmills, sits the Giant's Causeway, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It's pretty amazing - a grouping of about 40,000 Basalt rocks, most of which are hexagonal in shape (although others are tall columns), that jut out into the water like stepping stones.
Volcanic activity created the causeway's distinctive appearance 60 million years ago. These pillars were created as a result of basalt lava seeping through the chalk layers and subsequently cooling.
Alternately, you may opt to accept the more intriguing legend that Irish colossus Finn MacCool constructed the causeway. Finn constructed the causeway as a bridge to connect Ireland and Scotland in response to a challenge from the Scottish giant Benandonner. Benandonner escaped back to Scotland when Finn outsmarted him, demolishing the causeway so that Finn could not pursue him. In Scotland, there are more basalt rock columns to back up this myth. The Giant's Causeway is now a natural reserve and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
