Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge is under the care of the National Trust along with over 500 other special places, including 176 parks and gardens. The rope bridge’s long history began in 1755, when salmon fishermen first erected it 100 feet above sea level. Brave explorers willing to cross the bridge will be rewarded with epic views and phenomenal photo opportunities, not to mention a hot drink and delicious cake at the Weighbridge Tea Room. A pair of binoculars will come in handy to spot island seabirds, oystercatchers, sharks, dolphins, and porpoises. Other highlights include the West Lighthouse on Rathlin Island, tours of Fisherman’s Cottage, and the beautiful floral splendor with three kinds of orchids and numerous wildflowers.
