Carrick-A-Rede Rope Bridge is situated between Ballycastle and Ballintoy. One of the most famous things to do in Northern Ireland is to walk across this narrow, scary, swinging rope bridge hovering 80 feet above the sea.

Constructed of rope and wooden planks this bridge is connected to a very small offshore island from the mainland and can only be accessed during the summer months as it is removed before winter comes. Only the brave will cross this bridge as it sways to and fro in the wind!

Erected in early May and taken down in mid-September where its main purpose was for the access to the salmon fishery on the small steep island sixty feet away.
