Many visitors avoid looking down on the Carrick A Rede Rope Bridge. Spanning a 20 meter gap and hanging 30 meters above rocks, it links the mainland to Carrickarede Island with rugged coastal and Atlantic vistas.
First built by salmon fishermen over 350 years ago, it now draws global tourists. Gentle wind sway adds frisson, while caves below shelter rich marine life. Calm days reveal full scenic splendor.
