Named after its geology and best known for the dramatic sweep of its scenery, Northern Ireland’s Causeway coast has now earned a new accolade, as the UK’s favourite place for wildlife.

Launching the poll in January to celebrate BBC Wildlife’s 60th birthday, the BBC asked 60 people from our network of conservationists, writers, presenters and photographers to share their favourite places for wildlife in the UK. The resulting array of locations across the country – from remote Scottish isles to the north Cornish Coast – were then put to a public vote and the Top 10 decided in a YouGov poll.
