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 they’re much taller and more imposing, some stretching up the full height of the cliff.
