There is disclosed a honeycomb structure comprising a plurality of honeycomb segments ( 12 ), bonded into one piece, having an outer peripheral wall ( 8 ), cell walls ( 2 ) disposed inside the outer peripheral wall, and a large number of cells ( 3 ) partitioned by the cell walls and passing through an axial direction. The honeycomb structure ( 1 ) comprises the honeycomb segment ( 12 ) in which the cell walls ( 2 ) have an angle in a range of 25 to 65 degrees to a straight line along an outermost point of the outer peripheral wall ( 8 a) adjacent to another honeycomb segment, in a vertical section to an X-axis direction of the honeycomb structure ( 1 ). The honeycomb structure including the honeycomb segment can be used in a filter for trapping particulate in an exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine, boiler, etc. and can be superior in resistance to cracks by a thermal stress.
