The crossing isn't that long, but there's still an 80-foot drop below to black rocks and roaring water (i.e. certain death) and you're held aloft by the most precarious means imaginable. If you've parachuted, bungee jumped or are addicted to roller coasters, the Carrick-A-Rede Rope Bridge has to be next on your list. If you do cross, (and don't forget you've got to come ALL THE WAY BACK AGAIN), spectacular views from the island await you. If you don't, the walk over the tops of white cliffs is still worth it. The rope bridge was originally slung across the narrow causeway by intrepid salmon fishermen. Today the army step in and lower the bridge into position from helicopter at the end of winter.
