I initially went down the Google route expecting to come across a map with all the relevant features marked out. Sadly, I didn’t find one. (Perhaps a market opportunity there for you, nms!) It was only when I remembered the Brewer’s reference that I consulted the book and all became clear.

As for the truth of the quotation, I’ve never seen the Giant’s Causeway, so cannot give a personal view. However, as you say, having to spend several days just getting there would probably colour anyone’s judgement … of almost anything!

I had the grid filled in and the quotation/subject – although I didn’t spot that diagonal, doh! – but I couldn’t for the life of me find the sixth feature (not having a copy of Brewers, I was relying on googling/wiki-ing, but didn’t see any reference to the ‘Giant’s Loom’. Must have been having an off week…

I’ve always thought that quote a bit harsh – but I guess in his day they couldn’t just watch documentaries and travel programmes, or check on ‘tripadvisor’, they had to get out and travel if they wanted to see anything like that – and maybe the results sometimes didn’t justify the effort.
