Around 250 years ago fishermen erected Carrick-a-reed rope bridge for the purpose of fishing for Atlantic salmon. This was a flourishing industry at the time and in any one day there may have been catches of up to 350 fish. However by 2002 you would be lucky to catch the same amount in a whole season. It is no longer used by fishermen during the salmon season. The bridge spans just over 20 metres across and 30 meters ( over 100 feet) above sea level. This can be quite daunting for some visitors and on a few occasions there have been people who can't make it back across and have had to be taken by boat back to the mainland. So come and have a look for yourself.

Come and see for yourself and make your own mind up!

The Dark Hedges is a beautiful avenue of beech trees planted by the Stuart family in the 18th century and the idea was that they would impress anyone who visited their Georgian mansion ( Gracehill house).
