Latest Bray hotel reviews
My friend and I were up before dawn so decided to hike a portion of this trail. The website claims "If you are looking for a bracing and invigorating walk while taking in some clean sea air, look no further than the cliff walk from Bray to Greystones. " And it was exactly that! It was great. I took some awesome pictures. You begin on the Bray Promenade. It was off season for the seaside hotels but many of the locals were out strolling the promenade.
You head south and then start climbing up. (I added a short video I took while standing at a nice spot along the trail.)
info from the website-
"The coastal walk is 8km in length (5 miles) of cliff-top paths, which snake their way south from the end of Bray esplanade. Next to this is the challenging Bray Head climb, which will take you about an hour to the summit and back. This walk offers spectacular views of the Wicklow Mountains and, if you're lucky, all the way to Wales on a clear day."

Lots of people climbed it and for me it wasn't difficult at all to find the way to the top (I read a tip where they said it was difficult to find).
It's not a difficult hike, and fromt he top you have a beautiful view, when I was there it was maybe too windy, but I guess it's aften like that in Ireland.
When you're in Bray, it's difficult not to start walking toward that hill, it has something magnetic.

You can either climb to the top of Bray Head which gives you fantastic views over Bray and the Irish sea. Be sure to take warm clothes 'cause the wind can get quite chilly up there.
Alternatively you can walk around the base of Bray head for a less demanding walk.
