Only a solitary ruined gate tower remains - a standing testament to the turbulent times experienced at Dunseverick Castle. It's free to visit and open year-round, but take care exploring as there are sheer cliffs on three sides.

The Amphitheatre is a huge horseshoe shaped hollow in the cliffs. The sides are made up of towering basalt columns. Viewed from below or from the cliff-top path, the effect is striking. Part of the same volcanic lava flow as the Giant's Causeway, the columns are typically hexagonal, but here theyβre much taller and more imposing, some stretching up the full height of the cliff.

After a rocky and dreary section, the "view into paradise" comes through this bottleneck, almost out of nowhere. This walking section is unique!

Beautiful natural harbour with a small house (probably fishermen's) that can be seen from above passing on the Causeway Coast Way. Used for centuries for the abundance of crabs, cod and salmon to be caught during the migration to the Bush River in the breeding season.
