A short coastal footpath leads to Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge. It might seem a short walk on a normal Ireland day but on a clear and a million warm sunny day it seemed like a long hot walk. On the way, there where wonderful vantage points to stop and take in the natural beauty and the blue of the ocean. Fulmars, kittywakes, guillemots and razorbills breed on the islands close to the rope bridge.
Once you reach Carrick Island, the reward is seeing the diverse birdlife and an uninterrupted view across to Rathlin Island and Scotland. By uninterrupted it means there are no ropes or gates to keep you from stepping off the edge.
There is only one way off the island ~
back across the swinging bridge!
Don't look down! Unless you are brave!
