Description:
Cross the sligtly scary rope bridge to Carrick-a-rede island. On some days it can be quite dangerous although now safe as staff monitor it. So before it gets really windy(fun) they close it. You can run across the bridge if you wish, but it’s recommended that you wait until no one else is on it, you aren’t allowed to shake the bridge, but people have been known to. After crossing the bridge, there are beautiful greens and it is a spot for great pictures. The bridge closes before sun-down, so no matter how romantic it might seem to watch the sun set on a beautiful island, it gets closed too soon! On a good day, the coast of Scotland is clearly visible, so there’s advantages to going during premium light hours. Additionally, the bridge is only open in the summer months, they take it down each winter, and before it’s put up (in March(?)) they check it for safety. National Trust tearoom.
