I wanted to visit Carrick-a-Ree, a suspension bridge, on my trip to Ireland. It's a vast natural area with a spectacular view. The sea is also very beautiful. The number of people crossing this suspension bridge is strictly controlled, so there is a line and you cross at the direction of the staff. It's a shame that I didn't have time to take my time and take photos on the suspension bridge. It's far from the capital, Dublin, so I went there using a local tour I booked from Japan. #Seasideview #Spectacularview

#getgoing2025 Whitepark Bay, Antrim, Northern Ireland This expansive beach is perfect for a bracing walk and though it’s not suitable for swimmers, Whitepark Bay’s main attraction has little to do with the water. It’s home to a herd of possibly the most-photographed cows in Ireland. Used as a method of conservation for the dunes, the grazing cattle often wander down to the shore or a quick dip or a snooze on the sands, and if you turn up in the early morning you’re sure to catch sight of these beach-bound bovines.

#getgoing2025The Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge is surrounded by breathtaking coastal scenery that feels like a slice of untouched nature. The walk to the bridge winds along dramatic cliffs, with panoramic views of the turquoise sea and distant Scottish isles. Standing on the small island after crossing the bridge, I was struck by the tranquility and beauty of the rugged coastline. The seabirds circling overhead and the sound of waves crashing below created a magical atmosphere. This place is perfect for anyone seeking adventure and stunning views—it’s a true gem of the Antrim Coast.

#getgoing2025Visiting Carrick-a-Rede was an exhilarating experience. The highlight, of course, was crossing the famous rope bridge, suspended nearly 30 meters above the crashing waves and jagged rocks below. Originally built by salmon fishermen over 350 years ago, the bridge connects the mainland to a small island with stunning views of the Antrim Coast. The walk to the bridge was equally scenic, with cliffs, wildflowers, and the sound of the ocean adding to the charm. Entry cost around £13 and was worth it for the thrill and natural beauty. A truly unique destination that combines history and adventure!

#hikingtime Hiking to the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge is an experience that blends natural beauty with a touch of adventure. The trail begins near the charming village of Ballintoy and winds along the dramatic coastline of Northern Ireland, offering breathtaking views of the rugged cliffs and the vast Atlantic Ocean. The well-maintained path is an easy-to-moderate hike, suitable for most fitness levels, making it a great option for families and casual hikers. As you walk, the sea air fills your lungs, and the sound of crashing waves accompanies you along the way. The highlight, of course, is reaching the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge. Spanning 20 meters across a 30-meter deep chasm, the bridge connects the mainland to the tiny island of Carrickarede. Crossing the bridge is thrilling, but the reward is the panoramic view of the coastline and, on clear days, even the distant Scottish isles. This hike is a must for nature lovers and those seeking an unforgettable outdoor experience. #100waysoftravel #summervacation
