    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.

    Carrick a Rede Rope Carrick Cable Bridge, one of the most important attractions in Northern Ireland, is very magnificent. After purchasing tickets, parking is free, and you need to walk a long distance with beautiful scenery along the way. It is said that the original cable bridge was built to facilitate fishing.

    In Northern Ireland, there are no camps, because even Blue Rite is gone. The bridge is not 20 meters long and 30 meters high. It will sway with the wind when walking up. The sound of waves made me feel the unique charm of the Atlantic quiet veil from zero distance. Only when I was there, could I really appreciate its shock.
