Information

Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge was first erected by salmon fishermen in 1755

Connected to the cliffs by a rope bridge across the Atlantic Ocean, Carrick-a-Rede Island (home to a single building - a fisherman's cottage) is the final destination. Suspended almost 100ft (30m) above sea level, the rope bridge was first erected by salmon fishermen 350 years ago

Timed tickets

Crossing the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge is an exhilarating experience, high above the water and open to the elements. Thousands of people come every year to blow out the cobwebs, see beautiful coastal scenery, and spot rare wildlife. For these reasons, it’s a busy place and pre-booking is highly recommended. We limit the number of people who can cross the bridge in any given hour. As a conservation charity we are committed to preserving and protecting our special places and spaces for everyone to enjoy. This includes protecting ongoing conservation, managing health and safety and trying to ease traffic congestion around the site.

Admission charge

Visitors to the site who do not wish to cross the bridge can access the coastal pathways and the viewpoint for free by foot. It is essential for visitors who wish to experience crossing the bridge to pre-purchase a timed ticket. You can explore the island for as long as you like. Child tickets are valid for ages 5-17 years.

What time should you book?

The timed ticket to cross the bridge is valid for 1 hour. The bridge is a 1km walk from the car park, please allow enough time to reach the steps of the bridge for your crossing. The last arrival time to collect your ticket from the ticket office is 15 minutes before the expiry time on the ticket. If you arrive late we cannot honour your booking and you will not receive a refund.
