Welcome to GiantsCausewayOfficialGuide.com — an independent online guide to Northern Ireland’s most iconic landmark, the Giant’s Causeway. Our journey through time reflects a commitment to preserving the heritage and supporting local tourism in this breathtaking Causeway Coastal region.
The Site’s Beginning
Giantscausewayofficialguide.com’s story began in 1999 through a pioneering collaboration with the Moyle District Council and the National Trust, aimed at showcasing the splendour of the Giant’s Causeway to the world. Despite a promising start, the site remained dormant for 14 years, a digital relic awaiting rebirth.
A New Chapter
In 2014, the site gained a new lease of life when Mike Cantrell, recognising its potential, acquired it. Mike worked hard to build new life into the website with a significant makeover and updated content that captured the essence of the Giant’s Causeway, the surrounding area, and local businesses. His dedication saw the site refreshed multiple times, ensuring visitors always had access to the latest information.
The Content Kings Era
In 2019, with the support of the Causeway Coast and Glens Council, the torch was passed to us, Content Kings. Our vision was clear: transforming GiantsCausewayOfficialGuide.com into a cornerstone for local tourism businesses, providing them a platform to thrive and connect with visitors. This ambition led to a complete site overhaul, aligning it with the latest digital standards and user expectations.
We consciously engaged with local businesses, the Causeway Coast and Glens Council, and the National Trust — reaching out to local tour guides, food producers, and accommodation providers to build genuine partnerships around the site.
An Unexpected Turn
As we launched our newly revamped site in the first week of March 2020, eagerly anticipating the new tourism season, the world faced an unprecedented challenge. The COVID-19 pandemic halted global travel, significantly impacting local businesses and our plans. That period of uncertainty gave us space to reflect and slowly enhance the website, ready for when the world was travelling again.
We’re an independent guide — not affiliated with the National Trust or any government body — and we’re proud to keep building this into the most useful, honest resource for anyone planning a visit to the Giant’s Causeway.
