The Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge is a famous rope bridge near Ballintoy in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The bridge links the mainland to the tiny island of Carrickarede (from Irish Carraig a Ráid, meaning rock of the casting). It spans 20 metres (66 ft) and is 30 metres (98 ft) above the rocks below. First erected over 250 years ago by salmon fishermen, it is now a major tourist attraction owned and maintained by the National Trust. Visitors can enjoy stunning coastal views, wildlife spotting, and walks along the rugged Antrim coast path. Open year-round (subject to weather) with admission fees.
