National Trust - Carrick-a-Rede Review

The bridge connects a small island with beautiful views of Leslie Island and Scotland. The huge underground caves are also visible, which used to be a natural barrier for shipbuilders to escape storms

Carrick-a-Rede The cable bridge is a famous attraction in Northern Ireland, strolling on the narrow and rickety bridge board, holding the handrail tightly, the cable bridge is suspended 80 feet from the sea, and the two ends are connected to the steep cliffs. The bridge was built between cliffs on Northern Ireland's fractured coastline, initially only because fishermen wanted to cross the cliff to another cliff to fish. In the early days, the bridge had only one side with a guardrail. When the winds were blowing, the rocking bridge seemed to always throw people on the side without a guardrail. Now, for safety reasons, the other side of the bridge has also been equipped with a guardrail, even if the waves are still pounding the cliffs. It is often very windy here, and because there are empty places everywhere and there are cliffs, the wind is particularly beneficial. If you come to the attractions here to play, the hope is that the wind can be smaller, because the suspension bridge is hanging, the wind will make the bridge shake left and right, people will lose their center of gravity. The day I went there was just a windy wind, but on the return trip, I just crossed the bridge with a group of foreign young people at the same time. They were playing and shaking the armrests on both sides, making the suspension bridge very strong. I yelled to let them stop. Then even the guards at both ends shouted to let them stop, and then hurried to the shore. I was scared to death, I really didn't dare to look down, the abyss. Due to the problem of bearing capacity, the suspension bridge can only be allowed to pass in one direction. There are staff at both ends who have been guarding it. After a period of time, the tourists at one end will pass, and then they will put the people on the other side to repeat.

Follow YHA's one-day group. Never go in winter. Wind and rain, but also on the edge of the cliff, there is a crumbling feeling, crossing the bridge is charged for another fee, but the weather is too cold, did not go over, just took a few pictures against the bitter cold wind. I believe it will be beautiful to go to the scenery when the weather is fine.

This is a very dangerous sea-crossing aerial cable bridge. The boards on the bridge are only 30 centimeters wide. It is very dangerous to sway around in the wind. When walking on the bridge, special attention should be paid to not taking pictures or staying, because the cable bridge can only bear the weight of eight people. Personal suggestions for those who fear heights are not to go on the bridge, but to take pictures at a distance.

The Carricksaw Bridge connects Ireland's main island to a small island, and the bridge is staggering across two cliffs. It is very windy because it is on the beach, and it really takes some courage to walk back and forth on it.

Actually, it's the ropeway between the cliffs, but the sea around it is very beautiful. It is recommended to travel by car or one day with a local tour group. One route for a day trip is the castle, the Giant Road, the ropeway, the brewery and the right place to shoot. It seems to be 16 pounds. Don't buy tickets for scenic spots. Drivers will give preferential tickets. It's much cheaper.
