Very expensive: 5.60 GBP! Giant's Causeway is 6.00 GBP but there's so much to see and to do! But it is an exciting experience to go over the bridge (that's the only thing you can do there!) More

Some of our group (9 in total) had been before but still enjoyed the thrill and wonderful scenery. Those in our group who visited for the first time were amazed and thrilled with the crossing, especially on a very windy day. More

I stopped by at the Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge on my way around the north coast of Ireland and although both myself and my partner enjoyed it, it didn't quite live up to the hype. It was a steady walk in (about 10 mins from the car park) and I would imagine that when wet it could get quite muddy. The... More

Everyone should cross the rope bridge once in their lives. I did it once before when I was young, it was a lot more Indiana Jones back then!

For all those complaining about the £5 admission, c'mon! its not such a big deal, and the money is for the National Trust which is so key to keeping this and other attractions open to the public... and your money presumably barely covers the cost of the staff, the locking up of the bridge at night to prevent tourist mishaps...

You can't possibly go to North Antrim and miss this. It's wonderful whatever the weather but be careful, don't go too near the edge! More

Took a group of visitors here on a sunny afternoon and it was beautiful. It is only £3.50 per person if you book a group in advance. They all loved it and was well worth the visit . More
