Imagine yourself walking a 66ft long rope suspension bridge which stands 98ft high in the air over the Atlantic Ocean. Nothing but you, the beautiful cliffs, clear water, fresh air, a once in a lifetime view of Northern Ireland’s coastline (in my humble opinion the definition of paradise) as you make your way across and back this scenic walkway. The Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge is located in Antrim County, Northern Ireland, and links between the mainland and a small island of Carrickarede (which literally means rock of the casting). I lucked out when taking my trip across the bridge, it was only a little windy so the natural loose bridge didn’t have too much extra sway and there was only a small mist in the air which only added to the natural beauty. There were maybe about 20 or so other visitors there but due to the limitation of the bridge, only a few people are allowed on at a single time, this allows you to have a more individualistic experience and really take in everything around you. For me, taking a walk across the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge was like experiencing true freedom, nothing holding you back, only yourself, and the beauty around you.   If you are planning on visiting the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge it is best to check into what the popular tour times are so you don’t get stuck waiting in a long line or feel rushed due to the number of people that are trying to visit, the admission is 10 euro and does have timed slots so plan ahead. I would recommend either a spring or fall trip if possible to avoid the peak time crowds and give you the most memorial experience that you can have. The Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge is not for the faint of heart or those who are scared of heights but if you are adventurous enough to take this journey it is well worth the risk, with a beautiful natural landscape including views of various islands and Scotland.
