Greetings, fellow wanderers! I recently embarked on an unforgettable adventure to the National Trust Carrick-a-Rede, and it was a breathtaking experience that left me in awe of Northern Ireland's natural beauty! 🌟🇮🇪✨
Getting to Carrick-a-Rede is a delight in itself. After a scenic drive along the stunning Causeway Coastal Route, a short walk through lush coastal landscapes brings you to this captivating site. 🚗🗺
As I made my way across the iconic rope bridge suspended above the azure waters, I felt a rush of exhilaration and pure awe. The panoramic views of the rugged cliffs and crashing waves were simply mesmerizing. 🌊🌅
After the adventure, be sure to explore the National Trust's visitor center, offering informative exhibits and a delightful café where you can savor local delights. It's the perfect place to relax and reflect on the stunning natural surroundings. ☕🍽
Carrick-a-Rede is a true gem of Northern Ireland, a testament to its untamed beauty and a must-visit for any nature enthusiast seeking a thrilling coastal escapade! 🏞✨

From Belfast, along the coastline road north, passing several castles and ports, it took less than two hours to drive to the Carrick-A-Rede Rope Bridge.
This steep bridge between the cliffs of the Northern Ireland coastline was originally designed for fishermen who wanted to cross the cliff to capture another salmon on another island. Only those fishermen of that year did not expect that today, more than three hundred years later, this bridge has become one of the most famous attractions in Northern Ireland. In the second season of "Game of Thrones", the ceremony of the ceremony of Lanli Baratheon is also near the Carricks Bridge.
It is usually necessary to line up the team before crossing the bridge. Because the cable bridge is hung in the air, the sea breeze will start to shake slightly, so you can only release up to 8 people at a time. The cable bridge is nearly 30 meters from the surface of the sea. Standing on the slightly swaying bridge, you can see the rolling waves, sharp reefs and mysterious caves under the huge gap between the boards.
The name of the island "Carrick-A-Rede" is Irish, meaning "big stone falling off", yes, it is more like a piece of land splitting from the land than the concept of an island. The boulder coming. Crossing the cable bridge and standing on a cliff with a knife and axe, the magnificent scene in front of me reminds me of the North Point of Norway, which is also filled with a sense of loneliness at the end of the world.
