The Giantโ€™s Causeway Visitor Centre is the gateway to Northern Irelandโ€™s only UNESCO World Heritage Site. It has a grass-roofed design to blend into the landscape. Inside you'll find exhibitions on the geology, myths, and history of the Causeway. Toilet facilities, a cafรฉ and gift shop provide a good base to start from, before stepping out to explore the stones themselves.

De Burgh's castle was primarily a military fortress, notable for its robust defensive features typical of Norman architecture. The design included impressive walls and strategic positioning to take advantage of the natural defensive advantages of the clifftop location.

A very nice little place. The free car park is very central and spacious. The entrance height is stated as 1.95m. In our case, the height bar was set aside and therefore open.
