carrick-a-rede rope bridge印象

I don't love heights...this is worth the nerves! We were traveling independently in May 2013. The first day we arrived it was too close to closing for the afternoon. We went earlier the following day. Wear many layers of clothing. It's always windy along the coast. You have a bit of a walk to the bridge itself. We were glad to have coats with hoods, scarves, and gloves, even in May. You have to go down a steep ladder to cross the bridge. It was exhilarating and I'll cross it again if I have the chance. It was so windy on our day that it was impossible to take any pictures while walking across. I was holding onto the rope railings on both sides. There were staff people there who close the bridge if there's any hint of danger due to weather. Be sure to put this on your bucket list and DO IT.Once you cross - it takes maybe 30 seconds - there are places to sit and rocks to climb for photos. Spend a little time to make it worth the time you took to get there! Then cross back, hike to the Visitor Centre, and have a snack. Clean restrooms. Nice store with good maps, books, etc.

Such an under-rated part of the United Kingdom....we got the Antrim Coast bus tour and the scenery on route up to Ballintoy was absolutely wonderful.The rope bridge itself is quite a daunting experience if you dont have a head for heights especially on a blustery day with the waves swishing down below you but i enjoyed every second of it.Needless to say you need to be able bodied to do it and the jaunt to the rope bridge itself isnt the most accessible.Excellent views on the walk...and i wouldnt waste any time getting their because there can be lengthy queues.Just enjoy the scenery on the way back to the bus/car like we did :)

Well worth the visit, but make sure you wear comfortable shoes as there is a fairly long walk to get to the bridge on uneven ground. Bring a bottle of water and some warm layers / raincoat as you could be out for a while.

This place was beautiful, but the walk to get there was extremely long. While I wouldn't normally mind the walk, it was very miserable because of the cold and wind. The coast is beautiful but you can see it at other places too. The bridge was fun to cross over, but once you get over it, there's not really much else to see or go to. You also have to wait for a long line of people to go before you can cross.

If I had something to say bad about this attraction it is the long walk from the car park to the bridge. I know it is in an ANOB but........

This is worth the stop and walk down // over the bridge. It is a neat rope bridge to cross and get pictures on. And Game of Thrones was filmed near by. We got there before heavy tourists, but as we left the line was backing up. Only a few can cross the bridge at a time so it can take some time to do if there' s a line. Everyone wants pictures of course! I wish we had more time to actually sit there and just soak in the beauty of the sea and the coast line. It is truly breathtaking and magical to think of fisherman using that bridge to get to the other side to catch salmon. Seems to simple, but a rugged and risky lifestyle.

I'm scared of heights, so this was a challenge for me. Scared the pants off myself but I was glad I did it.Price is reasonable, the views are beautiful along the 1km walk from the car park to the bridge.I just felt sorry for the poor chap taking tickets at the bridge. Freezing cold and all he has is a little stone hut for shelter!

It's a longer walk than you might think, so bring comfortable shoes. The views along the way really are stunning though and the bridge itself quite scary crossing!! But overall a nice day out.

What I liked most was the the lovely views of the Antrim coastline, which started even before I crossed the rope bridge. I was lucky to get a mild day in March, but it was quite windy. I would advise anyone coming here to allow a fair amount of time, because I came here as part of a coach tour and there were a fair number of people queuing. You can't walk that quickly as they (very sensibly) control the flow of people going across the bridge. We had an hour and it wasn't enough time to get to the far end of the island, so I'd advise people to give it 1.5 hours at least.

Great attraction but not good accessibility for the less abode bodied. We visited on 10th March a sunny but blustery day, the views on the walk ( which was slightly longer than we thought) to the bridge are stunning. We arrived early and as we were leaving a couple of bus loads of tourists arrived. Best to visit early and you will not feel rushed.
