According to mythology, Finn built the Causeway as stepping stones to cross the Irish Sea in order to battle Benandonner, a Scottish giant.

Finn’s wife disguised him as a baby, and on seeing the child, Benandonner fled home fearing how enormous its father must be.You wil stop at the Dark Hedges, a key filming location for the hit TV series Game of Thrones, for 10-15 minutes.
