A Geoheritage Interpretation Case Study: The Antrim Coast of Northern Ireland (Chapter 11)

A survey of visitors to the Giant's Causeway and Causeway Coast World Heritage Site revealed key insights into how on-site interpretation could be improved to better meet visitor expectations while ensuring site conservation. The study found that enhancing interpretive materials—particularly those addressing geological heritage—could significantly improve visitor engagement without compromising the integrity of this globally significant geological landmark. This research provides actionable recommendations for managing the site, balancing high-quality visitor experiences with preservation challenges in one of Northern Ireland's most iconic natural attractions.
