It is a coastal rock formation comprised of these distinct columns of rock that cluster together against the tides.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main path to this attraction diverges into two walkways. A high path and a low path. The high path takes you across the higher cliffside that overlooks the causeway. While the lower path brings you there by walking low and parallel with the beach.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We started on the high path but then hiked downward and returned by walking on the low path. I&#8217;m glad we did this because it allowed us to see the location from both a high altitude and by walking directly on top of it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rocks are very beautiful to see against the deep blue ocean and climbing them is very fun. It actually reminded me of the kind of jungle gyms I used to play in when I was younger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Something I found very interesting was that a similar geographic location can be found in Scotland across the ocean. This has lead to legends existing where these two rock formation were once connected through a land bridge across the ocean. A bridge giants used, hence the name. I love hearing stories and legends that revolve around real life places.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s fascinating how you can find something so drastically different in a new place but to the people who live there it&#8217;s just a mundane aspect of their home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I recommend to anyone traveling in Ireland to visit this breathtaking location, even for just an hour or two, it truly is one of a kind. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another destination I visited in Ireland that I feel a need to talk about is the giant&#8217;s causeway.
