Owned by the National Trust; the Carrick-Rede rope
bridge us well worth visiting. It's suspended 100 feet above sea level and
offers a great view of the coastline, as well as the surrounding area. It's
about a ten minute walk to the bridge; and you really want to time your
crossing right, as you may get held up by coach parties. For health and safety
reasons; only eight people at a time are allowed on the bridge which is
carefully controlled by the Trust’s marshals. I asked if it was the same way
back and the reply was; ‘Well, how good’s your swimming?’ Unfortunately, they'd
sealed off the top of the cliff point because of the strong wind, but we still
had a good crossing and even had a few minutes on our own for photographs; as
some of our tour party weren't up for the crossing and wanted to see the
bridge. But as soon as we’d made our return crossing a coach appeared; and the
queues soared as nervous nellies waited for their turn to daintily cross.
