Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge County Antrim, Northen Ireland
The bridge at Carrick-a-Rede is some
eighty feet in the air. It's construction
once consisted of a single rope hand rail
and widely spaced slats which the
fishermen would traverse across with
salmon caught off the island.
Although no-one has ever been injured
falling off the old bridge, there have been
many instances of visitors being unable
to face the return walk back across the
bridge, resulting in them being taken off
the island by boat
