"Location: County Antrim Suspended almost 100 feet above sea level, the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge was first built by salmon fishermen over 200 years ago. Although the last fish was caught here in 2002, somewhere around a quarter of a million visitors cross the bridge for both thrills and scenery. Tourists walking the 66-foot path are rewarded with views of Rathlin Island, Scotland, and the Irish Sea. A lucky few might even spot some sharks and porpoises below in the water...if they dare to look down." - Caitlin Morton
