Introduction

The rope bridge that connects the main island of Ireland and Carrick-A-Rede island is known as the third steepest in the world. Carrick-A-Rede, which means "fallen rock," is adjacent to the famous Giant's Causeway and crossing the rope bridge takes you over a 60 million-year-old volcanic fissure. This historic rope bridge was once a necessary tool for fishing, but is now a popular tourist attraction beloved by visitors from around the world. Only 8 people can cross at a time, and it takes around 20 minutes to walk from the entrance to the exit. The views along the way are also quite charming.
