Northern Ireland : Murlough Bay, Fair Head, Carrick-a-Rede

 Ireland Day 2;

The day started with a walk to Fair Head from Murlough Bay followed by a stop at Carrick-a-Rede.

Views to Rathlin Island in the foreground, and Mull of Kintre & Isle of Islay in the distance.

Fair Head or Benmore is a 5-kilometre long mountain cliff, close to the sea, at the north-eastern corner of County Antrim, Northern Ireland, whose rock face is formed into distinctive vertical columns like organ pipes. Fair Head is regarded as one of the best outdoor rock-climbing locations in Ireland, and its long cliff, up to 100 metres high in places, is considered one of the biggest expanses of climbable rock in Northwest Europe.

The Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge (locally pronounced carrick-a-reed) is a rope bridge near Ballintoy in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The bridge links the mainland to the tiny island of Carrickarede (from Irish: Carraig a' Ráid, meaning 'rock of the casting'). It spans 20 metres (66 ft) and is 30 metres (98 ft) above the rocks below.
