giant's causeway

[xenresraymond]

Hello!
Does anybody know if it's possible to do the walk from carrick-a-rede to giant's causeway in one day, leaving Belfast in the morning and returning to Belfast at night? I'll be using public transport.

Thanks!

Yes you can. I imagine the walk will be held about three hours, but you can find the website of the Ulster Way more accurate and useful.
I think there are several forms of public transport. You can take a bus to Ballymena and change to a coastal city bus to Ballycastle or similar. With Larne would be much time for your best option might be to go from Belfast to Coleraine train / bus and bus to connect to the Giant's Causeway coast. You will need to check the bus schedule, but you can come back for Ballycastle - Ballymena - Belfast. Or vice versa.

The Giant's Causeway (known as Clochán an Aifir or Clochán na bhFomhórach in Irish and tha Giant's Causey in Ulster-Scots) is an area of about 40,000 interlocking basalt columns, the result of an ancient volcanic eruption. It is located in County Antrim on the northeast coast of Northern Ireland, about three miles (4.8 km) northeast of the town of Bushmills. It was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1986, and a National Nature Reserve in 1987 by the Department of the Environment for Northern Ireland. In a 2005 poll of Radio Times readers, the Giant's Causeway was named as the fourth greatest natural wonder in the United Kingdom.


The tops of the columns form stepping stones that lead from the cliff foot and disappear under the sea. Most of the columns are hexagonal, although there are also some with four, five, seven and eight sides. The tallest are about 12 metres (39 ft) high, and the solidified lava in the cliffs is 28 metres thick in places.
