Rope Bridge to Carrick-a-Rede Island by Debra Martz
Carrick-a-Rede Island in #CountyAntrim, #NorthernIreland, is accessible from the mainland via a rope bridge.
The first bridge was erected by salmon fishermen in 1755 to reduce reliance on a boat to reach the island. Today, it is mainly a tourist attraction where you can sway in the wind while seeing beautiful views

Random photo from the archive. This is the Antrim coastline in Northern Ireland, about 10 kilometres from the Giant's Causeway. We're looking down from the cliff towards the small island of Carrick-a-Rede, connected to the mainland by a rope bridge. Local fishermen used to catch hundreds of salmon daily swimming through the gap, but then the salmon caught on. Or were overfished. One of the two.
