11. Carrick-A-Rede Rope Bridge, Northern Ireland

Advertisement
The Carrick-A-Rede Rope Bridge in Northern Ireland stretches 100 feet across a chasm, swaying precariously 100 feet above the crashing waves below. Originally built by salmon fishermen, this narrow rope bridge has become a popular tourist attraction. Crossing it is a heart-pounding experience, as the bridge rocks gently with every step, and the wind from the Atlantic Ocean adds an extra element of thrill. The stunning views of the rugged coastline and nearby islands make the crossing worth every nerve-wracking moment.
