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.

City Park Bridge - Budapest - Hungary
A thousand years ago Pest, which was just an island in the Danube, was surrounded by a branch of the river. Over the centuries, the riverbed slowly dried up, leaving a small ditch occasionally filled with drain water in the empty land around the old city walls. Late last century an idea was floated to turn the ditch into a channel with bridges at each avenue and ornamental parks on each side.
