5Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, Northern Ireland

Stretching 20 meters between the cliffs of Ballintoy and the tiny island of Carrick-a-Rede, this rope bridge may not seem dangerous at first glance.

However, the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge sways over a 30-meter drop into the Atlantic Ocean, where rough waves crash against jagged rocks below.
Originally built by salmon fishermen, the bridge has been reinforced over the years, but its isolation and the wild coastal weather make it a challenging crossing for visitors.
