This truly is one of the wonders of the world, in Northern Ireland, but it's amazing how many people overlook Giants Causeway when in Ireland. Here are two pics, one from my own photo album and one from the web.
this doesn't do it justice.
my son is now taller than I am, this picture was a while ago :)

Ireland is one of the places I would love to go someday. Last year I made it "next door" to Scotland, which was absolutely wonderful!

I have lived in Ireland for 3 years and it is one of my favorites places, i really enjoyed Galway, the south is beautiful ,the colors have this clarity and beauty i have barely seen in another country .
Go to Dublin, Galway,Cork, Limerick try the differents pubs available (thousand of thousand :-)) visit the countryside, Go to newgrange ( a site where once a year the light go straight to a hole and match perfectly with the center of the monument, take the ferry to ...Scotland, to Pembroke (wales)..to France (Cherbourg)
See you
I would love to go to Ireland & Scotland more than any place else on earth!!!
Since I have a friend who lives in northern England & she has invited me to come & let her show me the sights all I really need to do is get there (& home, of course) but that is still a dream so far... One day, perhaps...
I was at the Giants Causeway in July.
I think the first pic is precisely that same place as Robin's second pic.
More of the same...
If you have been to The Giant's Causeway you just have to see the other end of the causeway!
It's on the Island of Staffa near Mull in Scotland!
It's not a cheap day trip though - £43(GBP), but the boat takes you from Oban to the island of Mull where you are met by a coach which takes you from the northern end to the southern end.
You are then taken by boat to Staffa where these pictures were taken. Fingal's Cave inspired Felix Mendelssohn to compose his overture of the same name. It is awesome I promise you. And on the island are strange little birds called Puffin. Their diet is fish of course but they nest in burrows!
About 90 minutes later the boat returns then takes you to the holy Island of Iona and the famous Abbey there for nearly 3 hours, then return by ferry to Mull, back on the coach and then the final ferry to Oban.
This was for me the highlight of my 6 week tour. If you care to enter "The British Isles" in the search field at the top of any TBD page, it will take you to a thread I created of my travelogue.
