Carrick-a-Rede is a small rocky island off the north Antrim coast connected to the mainland cliffs by a rope bridge maintained by the National Trust, originally erected by salmon fishermen to check nets. The bridge spans a 30-metre chasm roughly 30 metres above the sea. The site is set within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and the basalt cliffs nearby provide nesting habitat for fulmars, kittiwakes, and razorbills.
