Its one of the North Coast National Trust Properties, "Carrak-a-Ried" It was orignally a bridge across to the island where fishermen ran a salmon net out. The NT acquired it before the area went into ruin and is now an 'attraction'

Heres it being put up earlier this year

I'm a Warden on the North Coast... and get experience in conservation, land management, countryside stewardship and you could do the same :p Its sort of a similar position to the National Park rangers you guys have over your way

That's pretty cool. I've heard from a friend who worked in the parks system that it takes quite a bit of education to become a Ranger over here, what about over there?
