The Giant’s Causeway lies in Northern Ireland’s Causeway Coast World Heritage Site, a landscape of cliffs formed by hexagonal basalt stones, agricultural landscapes and cliffside walks.

The second, extending the level of the road, screens the car park from view. There is no longer a building and landscape but building becomes landscape and the landscape itself remains spectacular and iconic.
