Where am I?

Update: The picture below was taken in Carrick-a-Rede in Northern Ireland.  You might stop here along a path that visits Giant's Causeway and Bushmills for some whiskey sampling.

We parked the car in a small gravel lot.  Without the GPS it would have been difficult to know we had arrived.  A small sign posted next to two wooden fences welcomed us onto a beautiful country path.

On one side of the path were green pastures covered in grass so long it had tipped over to one side.  On the other, the cliffs dropped into sapphire blue waters that roiled with white-capped waves.  A soft breeze swept off the water, brushing against my cheek like a pleasant welcome from a long-lost friend.

After only a few minutes, the path curved up and around a rock face, then down towards a wooden suspension bridge that set my heart immediately racing.  How easy it seemed to be swept away.  How devious that once-friendly breeze now seemed.

So here's the question for those wild dreamers out there: where am I?
