"The Bray Cliffwalk"

Stunning sea cliffs, abundant wildlife clean sea air, and a great walk -
We started at the Bray Promenade and then walked along the cliffsheading towards Greystones.
Red skies at night, sailors delight.
Red skies at morning, sailors take warning.

"More along the Cliffwalk"

Just some of the ruins along the trail as the rising sun hit them. Lovely way to start a day.
All I have here to look at on my walks where I live are cows. moo... sigh

"Bray"

Bray is a seaside town and bustling urban center 20 km or 12 miles south od Dublin.
I was invited to the weddingof a fellow bagpiper. My friend and I decided to stay here in Bray rather t han Enniskerry. The bride and groom were staying in Summerhill House, which is quite lovely, but much more costly. Summerhill House was €200 a night versus €199 for three nights at the Royal Hotel in Bray.
We took a bus from Dublin airport (bought 5 day unlimited pass) and then at City Center took a bus to Bray that dropped us just around the corner from our hotel.
The next day were were able to take busses almost all the way to Summerhill House using the same pass.

Bray, County Wicklow, Ireland

Small resort town on the East coast. I was there on business, not pleasure. I had a day off, but did not have a car to go sightseeing. Within walking distance is Bray's Head. A small "mountain" that juts out a little into the ocean. It has some unmarked paths up to the top where you get a great view. There is also a path called the "cliff walk" that was marked closed do to unstable ground. I later learned from a local that he had walked it recently and had no problem.

I stayed at the Royal Hotel. Not bad, although the beds and pillow were quite hard and the TV didn't work very well. Most places I ate were quite good.

Plenty of pubs and restaurants (there is a McDonalds!), a movie theater, bowling alley, and a small sports stadium for local games.
