Carrick a Rede rope bridge and Antrim coastline

For 350yrs fisherman have strung a rope bridge 30m (nearly 100 foot) to cross to Carrick Island to get to the   best migrating Salmon. Now its a challenge to thousands of tourists each year and gives fantastic views of the coastline, Ratlin Island and the Scottish Islands. There is a 1 km walk to the rope bridge that has some fantastic views along the way.
