Carrick-a-Rede - County Antrim Carrick-a-Rede. There has been a rope bridge here for over 200 years but in earlier times it had just a single handrail. It was first erected to reach an important fishery. Salmon entering the bay below Carrick-a-Rede (the rock in the road i.e. the road of the salmon) will not swim through the narrows below the bridge but are deflected by the island into the fishnets. Crossing this narrow bouncy bridge of planks and ropes precariously poised 80 feet above the sea is not for the faint hearted. http://www.famouslandmarks.net (Added: Wed Dec 00 0 Hits: 0 Rating: 0.00 Votes: 0)   Rate It   Review It  View Details Carrick-a-Rede - County Antrim Carrick-a-Rede.

The dramatic ruin of Dunluce Castle forms the remains of the largest, most sophisticated castle on the Northern Irish coastline. Perched on a hundred foot high sheer cliff, the only way to enter is along a long narrow bridge overlooked by the battlements. The castle dates from the 10th century and the story of the castle is a story of the legendary ""Shorley Boy"", of the wild MacDonnells from Scotland and their terrible feuds with the O'Neills of Ulster, and the forces of the English crown. http://www.famouslandmarks.net (Added: Wed Dec 00 0 Hits: 0 Rating: 0.00 Votes: 0)   Rate It   Review It  View Details
