The Carrick-A-Rede rope bridge


Walking along the coastal path eastwards from Ballintoy eventually brings us to this this rope bridge.
Now for some reason we had supposed that we could buy the inflated price ticket over it, at the bridge itself but it turned out that you had either to buy from a special café near a carpark some distance away or on-line. As we had not done this, our way was barred. We however still got some nice views from the mainland path as can be seen here.
The PiP shows a lone adult leading a child over this wobbly bridge with the waves crashing below. Our viewing of this showed many people going over it with some trepidation and maybe understandable fear. They were only allowed over, singularly or in very small personal groups.
The Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge is a rope bridge near Ballintoy in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The bridge links the mainland to the tiny island of Carrickarede. It spans 20 metres and is 30 metres above the rocks below. The bridge is mainly a tourist attraction and is owned and maintained by the National Trust. The name Carrick-a-Rede, from the Scottish Gaelic 'Carraig-a-Rade' means 'The Rock in the Road' - the island being an obstacle in the path of migrating salmon. Suspended across the 20-metre-wide chasm, this famous rope bridge was first erected in 1755 to connect salmon fishermen to the rocky island of Carrick-a-Rede. (The National Trust/Wiki)
HFF, enjoy the weekend.

HappyFF and enjoy your weekend.Hopeful FF and WE !
A shame about the inflated price to cross the bridge. I suppose they are confident
that they will get thousands of visitors, so they can charge what they like! A shame though.
HFF and wish you a good weekend,
Rosa.
