Coastal cliffs covered in lush green grass rise above the clear blue ocean, creating a breathtaking view. A small structure with a rope bridge nestles between the rock formations, adding a touch of human presence to the natural landscape. Photography by Debra Martz

So many times tourists point blank refuse to make the return journey across the bridge and have to be taken back by boat. 😂 The bridge has many 100s of thousands of visitors a year.

Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge (locally pronounced carrick-a-reed) is a rope bridge near Ballintoy in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The bridge links the mainland to the tiny island of Carrickarede. There have been many instances where visitors, unable to face the walk back across the bridge, have had to be taken off the island by boat.

Good morning. Taken yesterday. Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge. Salmon fishermen have been building bridges to the island for over 350 years. The bridge links the mainland to the tiny island of Carrickarede (from Irish Carraig a' Ráid, meaning 'rock of the casting'). #Scape #photography #EastCoastKin

Photo is of Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge in County Antrim in the North of Ireland. It links the mainland to Carrickarede - a small island. It was originally erected in 1755 by salmon fishermen.

Looking down on Carrickarede Rope Bridge yesterday evening…

The wee white bothy was used by men fishing for the salmon that passed thru’ under the bridge - a tradition dating back to the 18th century which has been banned since early 21st century ☘️

I summon the courage to walk across the flimsy Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge on the Antrim coast.
