Bray

Bray

Bray is a dormitory town situated 12 miles south of Dublin. Bray is perhaps best known as one of the oldest seaside resorts in the country. During fine weather, many Dubliners throng to Bray to the seaside and the promenade.

A bracing 5 mile cliff walk around Bray Head to Greystones allows excellent views of the Sugar Loaf Mountain. Bray Head is famous for its rail tunnels , the longest of which is just under 1 mile long.

Getting to and from Bray couldn't be easier with the town on the DART (Dublin Area Rapid Transit) train line .
