Additionally, it has gained recognition for its appearances in various films and literary works, including the Harry Potter series and the James Bond film Skyfall. A visit to this place will evoke a profound feeling of mystery, awe and enchantment.
Ten. Giant’s Causeway, County Antrim
As the name suggests, Giant's Causeway is an extraordinary geological feature in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. This promontory consists of basalt columns extending approximately 4 miles along the northern coastline, connecting Causeway Head and Benbane Head, roughly 25 miles northeast of Londonderry.
Renowned for its roughly 40,000 hexagonal basalt pillars, the formation dates back around 50 to 60 million years, originating during the Paleogene Period. It was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in1986, which adds to its recognition as a natural wonder. It draws approximately 300,000 visitors annually, making it one of the most iconic landmarks in Northern Ireland.
Nine. Lydford, Gorge, Devon
At the southern end of Lydford village, the River Lyd descends sharply through a picturesque, tree-encased ravine called Lydford Gorge. This gorge, recognized as the deepest river gorge in the Southwest, extends for 1.5 miles and is characterized by its temperate rainforest, a globally rare habitat.
Historically, the gorge served as a natural defence mechanism, forming part of the key Boroughs established by Alfred the Great to safeguard Wessex. At the northern section of Lydford Gorge, visitors can navigate the ravine and observe the Devil’s Cauldron, a significant pothole located in the gorge's deepest area.
This gorge exemplifies the process of river gorge formation and has been under the stewardship of the National Trust since 1947.
