Bray Travel Guide

Bray is a seaside resort about 9 miles south of Dublin.  In its heyday in the Victorian era, when it was a fashionable holiday destination, its grand old buildings are now somewhat shabby and the town itself is not very attractive. 

There is a lovely promenade along the seafront, with Bray Head, a stiff climb, at the southern end.  Along the cliff face there is a 4-mile path, which takes you to the next town on the coast, Greystones.  This is much nicer than Bray, and the walk along the cliff path is well worth the effort for the spectacular views of the coast, the cliffs and the railway far below.
