fonaCAB Tour 7 - Giant's Causeway and Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge
Travel along the scenic Antrim Coast Road where you then stop at at the rugged symmetry of the rock formation known as The Giant’s Causeway. A sight of outstanding natural beauty, take in the legend and folklore of Finn MacCool at the Causeway’s award-winning visitor centre, before exploring the landmark yourself during your one hour stay.

You will then travel to the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge. Spanning a chasm some 80 feet deep, the rope bridge was originally used by fishermen, who would fearlessly traverse the bridge with its single rope hand rail and widely spaced slats.

Although the National Trust has now modified the bridge in order to make it safer for tourists, it is still a heart-stopping experience and some visitors have even failed to make the return journey!

You will have an hour to build up the courage to cross this swinging bridge, and even if you decide against it, the views as you walk to and from the bridge are well worth the trip.
