Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge Built by fishermen in 1755, this 20 metre rope bridge links Northern Ireland’s mainland in Ballintoy to the tiny ancient volcanic island of Carrick-a-Rede (from the Scottish Gaelic Carraig-a-Rade meaning The Rock in the Road). Dolphins, porpoise and even large sharks can be spotting swimming off the coast, whilst nearby Rathlin Island has one of Britain’s largest seabird colonies including puffins.  nationaltrust.org.uk/carrick-a-rede
