Dunluce Castle
Dunluce Castle Ireland Game of Thrones - History and Facts
Dunluce Castle is a remarkable example of medieval architecture and Irish history. It was originally the home of the powerful Clan MacDonnell, whose influence could be felt throughout Northern Ireland.
Though now in ruins, it still stands tall, perched atop a basalt outcropping in County Antrim. To reach the castle, visitors must cross a bridge that connects it to the mainland. Once there, they will be awed by the steep drops on either side of the castle, which add to the breathtaking beauty of the surrounding landscape.
The location’s history goes back even further, as it was once the site of an early Irish fort that attracted both early Christians and Vikings. Experiencing Dunluce’s stunning natural surroundings and rich cultural heritage is an enriching experience for all who visit.

CARRICK-A-REDE ROPE BRIDGE
The Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge is a rope bridge near Ballintoy in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The bridge links the mainland to the tiny island of Carrickarede. It spans 20 metres and is 30 metres above the rocks below. The bridge is mainly a tourist attraction and is owned and maintained by the National Trust.
Considered one of the world’s scariest bridges, the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge is not for the faint of heart. Spanning a chasm that is almost 100 feet deep and nearly 70 feet wide, this Northern Ireland bridge connects Carrick-a-Rede Island to the mainland and attracts a quarter of a million visitors every year.
The original structure was built by fishermen more than 300 years ago, and as recently as the 1970s, the bridge had only one handrail and large gaps between the slats.
The current bridge is less than 10 years old and is made of wire and Douglas fir. There is no record of anyone falling off the bridge, but it is not uncommon for visitors to get cold feet after crossing once, requiring a boat to bring them back to the mainland.
Aside from the treacherous structure, the surrounding area is designated an Area of Special Scientific Interest due to its unique flora and fauna.
Take on the challenge of the famous Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge, enjoy stunning views of the Scottish islands, spot soaring seabirds and basking sharks, and see the stars shine like never before.
