In the footsteps of giants...
Our gardens, parks and countryside locations are open. Shops are open and cafes are offering a take-away service. We advise you to book in advance during the busy weekends and holidays. If you do not book, we cannot guarantee admission. Please follow NI Executive guidance to stay local.
Flanked by the wild North Atlantic Ocean and a landscape of dramatic cliffs, for centuries the Giant’s Causeway has inspired artists, stirred scientific debate and captured the imagination of all who see it.
Why not experience the Giant's Causeway for yourself? Visit the world-famous basalt columns with one of our official tour guides, or pick up an audio guide and go at your own pace.
You can walk to the stones for free, but our car park is reserved for those buying tickets for our Visitor Experience, which includes a guided tour and use of the audio guides, available in 11 languages.
Climb the Shepherd's Steps and hike along the clifftop trail to get a bird's eye view of the beautiful causeway coast. Or enjoy the road less travelled capturing the World Heritage Site on an active five-mile hike along the stunning cliff-top path with the guided Clifftop Experience.
You can also unlock the mystery and stories of the landscape in the exhibition area of our award-winning Visitor Centre, which comprises a café serving seasonal, regional fayre, and retail zone where you can pick up locally-sourced memories of your causeway trip in the form of beautiful souvenirs and handicrafts, as part of the Visitor Experience.

Most of our places run the Gift Aid on Entry scheme at their admission points.
Under this scheme, if you're not a member you have the choice of two entry tickets:
If the place runs Gift Aid on Entry, we'll offer you a clear choice between the Gift Aid Admission prices and the Standard Admission prices at the admission point. It's entirely up to you which ticket you choose.
Gift Aid Admission includes a 10 per cent or more voluntary donation. Gift Aid Admissions let us reclaim tax on the whole amount paid - an extra 25 per cent - potentially a very significant boost to our places' funds.
An extra £1 paid under the scheme can be worth over £3 to the National Trust as shown below:

In line with Northern Ireland Executive guidance, the Giant's Causeway Visitor Experience is currently closed. We look forward to welcoming you back when it is safe to do so.
