Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge is absolutely fabulous on a clear, sunny day. The coastal scenery is stunning, with incredible views across the cliffs and beautifully clear water. It is easily one of the most memorable stops along the Causeway Coastal Route. The walk is very enjoyable, although the hills and steps can take quite a bit of energy out of you, particularly on the return journey. I would recommend bringing water, taking your time and not putting too much pressure on your body. I did not cross the bridge because our young one is uncomfortable with heights, but my wife went across and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Even without crossing, the walk and surrounding scenery make the visit worthwhile. The café was also excellent. The beef pie was exceptionally fresh, tasty and genuinely delicious, while the raspberry ripple ice cream was the perfect treat afterwards. A fantastic family experience and a place that anyone visiting Northern Ireland should see at least once.

Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge is an incredible experience and one of the highlights of the Causeway Coast. The walk along the cliffs is beautiful in itself, with sweeping sea views and dramatic coastal scenery. The rope bridge is safe and well maintained. The paths are clearly marked, and the overall site is very well organized. I’d recommend wearing comfortable shoes and bring enough water.

A National Trust acquisition, at €18 to enter,allowing access across the rope bridge, in my opinion was a little steep . Luckily my wife and I are members of the N.T. or else we may have not bothered to gain entry . There is about a twenty minutes walk to the rope bridge along a cliff top, which did offer beautiful views. The walk wasn't over strenuous but I would not recommend it if you have health or disability issues .I'm scared of heights but did pluck up courage to walk through the stewarded gateway and across the rope bridge . The bridge is only 20m long but 30m above the water . Quite a few people , once they saw the bridge , didn't venture across! It was a calm, warm day when my wife and I were there ( she did back away from going across 😊) but on a more turbulent day I think I would have had second thoughts to go across to the island!.The island itself , once across the bridge , is small , requires a level of dexterity and fitness to clamber and walk around , offers good views out to sea but to be honest offered little else as a visitor experience . All in all worth a visit but overpriced in terms of value for money as a visitor experience .

A truly unforgettable attraction on the stunning Causeway Coast. The rope bridge crossing is a thrilling experience, set against some of the most dramatic coastal scenery Ireland has to offer. The walk to the bridge is scenic and well maintained, adding to the overall enjoyment of the visit. Views from the island are spectacular on a clear day. Suitable for the adventurous at heart — an absolute must-do when visiting the north coast. Tickets to be booked well in advance, if you are planning your trip unless you are a national trust member for whom the visit is absolutely free.

We really enjoyed our hike and trip across the bridge. It is not a short or easy walk. There are some stone steps along the way and it was raining a bit while we were there. So, the stones were getting quite slippery. But, if you're prepared for the Irish weather and terrain as we were, it doesn't matter a bit. Be sure to use the bathrooms at the entrance/exit because there are no others on site. And our trip to the bridge and back took a little over an hour. We refueled in their café with a cappuccino, some water, and a piece of carrot walnut cake. All delicious and hit the spot after the rainy hike. It was well worth the trip and the price we paid.
