I stopped by at the Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge on my way around the north coast of Ireland and although both myself and my partner enjoyed it, it didn't quite live up to the hype.

Everyone should cross the rope bridge once in their lives. I did it once before when I was young, it was a lot more Indiana Jones back then!

You can't possibly go to North Antrim and miss this. It's wonderful whatever the weather but be careful, don't go too near the edge! More

Took a group of visitors here on a sunny afternoon and it was beautiful. It is only £3.50 per person if you book a group in advance. They all loved it and was well worth the visit . More
