Take the exhilarating rope bridge challenge to Carrick-a-Rede island and enjoy a truly cliff top experience. Set on the North Antrim Coast Road, amid unrivalled coastal scenery, the 30m-deep and 20m-wide chasm is traversed by a rope bridge that was traditionally erected by salmon fishermen. Visitors bold enough to cross from the cliffs to the rocky island are rewarded with fantastic bird-watching, and splendid uninterrupted views to Rathlin and the Scottish islands.
Maximum of eight people on bridge at any one time. Suitable outdoor clothing and footwear is recommended. During the height of the season, timed tickets may be in operation and visitor numbers may be restricted to access and cross the rope bridge. Drivers/guides/leaders are requested to contact reception on arrival to issue group tickets (15+). These tickets must be surrendered at reception on payment (including passengers who do not wish to cross the bridge)
