Next up, Carrick-a-rede swinging bridge, as promised. The view walking to the bridge was
beautiful.
Once you have crossed the bridge, you are on a small island
high up over the ocean with a view directly to Scotland (on a totally clear
day).
Traditionally fishermen erected the bridge to the
island to check their salmon nets. It originally consisted of a single rope
hand rail, but has been replaced by two rope hand rails for visitors safety.
This I would return to in a heartbeat. The beauty looking down whilst walking across the rope bridge was incredible. I made sure I was last of the group going back so that I could stop and really take it in.
That is so incredibly beautiful! I'm amazed at your ability to walk on a swinging bridge...I have trouble with those! You are quite the traveler, girl. I love the photos you post and can't wait to see Scotland. Too bad you didn't get there in time to cast your vote.
