Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge walks

Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge - Ballintoy

Tourist office

Famous for its rope bridge, (unique in Ireland) – which connects the mainland to Carrick-a-Rede Island. The island until recently was an active salmon fishery, with an old fisherman’s bothy, old ropes, and nets still visible.
On route to the island, the grassy slopes and rocky outcrops are awash with colour in late spring/summer (the site is an Area of Special Scientific Interest), on the basis of its flora and unique geology – being at the centre of an ancient volcano.
