Where should you park when visiting Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge?
The practical answer
For **Carrick-a-Rede**, use the **National Trust on-site car park** on the B15. The National Trust's current visitor information makes parking part of the managed visit, so book the attraction before travelling rather than turning up and assuming unlimited parking.
The main car park is limited. When needed, **Larrybane** is used as overflow parking.
Parking here is only the start of the visit: the rope bridge is reached on foot from the visitor/car-park area, so allow time for the coastal walk as well as your booked bridge slot.
Do not park on the narrow surrounding roads if the official parking is full. This stretch of the Causeway Coast gets very busy in summer and unmanaged roadside parking creates problems for local access.
