The Giant's CausewayThe Giant's Causeway is the only World Heritage Site in Ireland and is less than two miles from Acorn Lodge. No visit would be complete without seeing it. You can go by car, or walk along the old tramtrack which starts at Tramway Drive. Legend has it that the approximately 37,000 hexagonal pillars of volcanic basalt were created by the giant, Finn McCool, as stepping stones across the Irish Sea to reach his lady love on the island of Staffa, in Scotland. From the award-winning Visitors Centre, you can walk to the Causeway or take the frequent minibus. The cliff path which overlooks the Causeway offers breathtaking views of the coastline and, on a clear day, pf some Scottish islands - you can follow this cliff path round the coast to Dunseverick Castle.
