Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge

Turning north and after a short time we again join the coastal route, and not long after we arrive at Carrick-A-Rede. This is a rope bridge across to a small island, originally built by salmon fishermen to get somewhere to launch their boats.

When I say arrive, we actually arrive at the car park for it, where they charge £9. We didn't pay that as you can also go to a viewing area for free. It's still a good 15 minute walk along a cliff path to the bridge, and when we got there, there was a queue to go over it. There wasn't much on the island so good choice to not pay. Also as we left the viewing area, they were about to close it due to the increasingly strong winds.Leia mais
