Early start: off to Giant’s Causeway, among the most astonishing places in Northern Ireland. More than 40,000 ancient basalt columns, hexagonally shaped, rising from the sea, over the coast, beaten by the wind and the waves. This incredible rocky formation is so evocative and precious that it was declared UNESCO Heritage Site in 1986. We move then to Londonderry.
