8The Giant’s Causeway, North Ireland

The Giant’s Causeway lies on the foot of the basalt cliff at the Antrim Plateau edge in Northern Island. It features almost 40,000 hexagonal stepping stones. This UNESCO World Heritage Site was formed almost 60-million years ago by a volcanic eruption. These massive basalt block columns stick out of the sea.

Its beauty is mind-boggling and it changes the light from sharp greens to greys to warm tobacco brown. The puzzling geology of this place makes it one of the most remarkable natural and weird sites in Europe. Location: Bushmills BT57 8SU, United Kingdom
