For
centuries countless visitors have marvelled at the majesty and
mystery of the Giants Causeway. At the heart of one of Europe’s
most magnificent coastlines its unique rock formations have, for
millions of years, stood as a natural rampart against the unbridled
ferocity of Atlantic storms. The rugged symmetry of the columns
never fails to intrigue and inspire our visitors. To stroll on
the Giants Causeway is to voyage back in time.
Your imagination will travel along stepping stones that lead to either
the creative turbulence of a bygone volcanic age or into the mists
and legends of the past.
In 1986 the Giants Causeway Visitors centre opened, coinciding with
the World Heritage Conventions addition of the Causeway to its coveted
list of sites, which are of exceptional interest and universal value.
The facilities at the Causeway Centre now include Tourist Information
offices, Bureau De Change, Accommodation Booking Service, an Interpretive
Audio-Visual Presentation and a Souvenir Shop. The National Trust
are the custodians of the Causeway and provide the National Trust
Shop and Tea Rooms (for opening times please contact directly). The
Causeway Coaster bus service from the centre to the Causeway is now
running in conjunction with the opening hours of the centre. The
range of amenities on offer is geared to accommodate your individual
needs and ensure that all our guests can benefit from and enjoy their
visit.
The centre caters for the interest and enjoyment of the half a million
tourists that visit the Giants Causeway each year. The management,
the staff and our facilities are at your disposal during a visit
that we hope will be the first of many.
