Bray Beach

Highlight • Beach

Bray is easy to reach by train from Dublin. From the train station to the start of the walk you can reach the beach boulevard with hotels, restaurants and a café within 15 minutes. The tour starts from the parking lot maybe 100 on the way down the stairs - and with a steep climb. Hiking shoes are recommended because of the following rocks. The descent will be slippery later. At the top you reach the big cross with the great views. Then the two ways left and right (something) are closed to the further course of the hike (end of 2017). Nobody seems to mind, as many hikers are on the way. We deviated from the way there to find an alternative. That was not a good idea. Remains on the ways? Better from the cross direction Greystone keep left on the way.
