Discover a piece of Northern Ireland's fishing heritage and natural splendour with Deborah Hill's "Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge A5 Print". This digital print brings to life the iconic Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, a symbol of adventure and exploration in Northern Ireland. The bridge, first constructed in 1755 by local salmon fishermen, represents a vital part of the region's history. It was originally built to access the small Carrickarede Island, a prime location for Atlantic salmon fishing, which had been a flourishing activity in the area since around 1620.
The current bridge, now a popular tourist attraction, spans a modest 20 meters and is suspended 30 meters above the sea, offering breathtaking views of the Atlantic. The initial construction of the bridge was a significant advancement for the local fishing industry, providing easier access to the island and allowing for the establishment of a permanent base for fishing equipment.
