County Wicklow Travel Guide

The little seaside town of Co. Wicklow was loved by dubliners so much, that the city has now swallowed it!  Still has its beach amusements and arcades, along with a nice mountain to climb up if your feeling a bit mad.  Easy to get to on the DART from dublin city.

Just 45 minutes by train from Dublin, Bray is the idyllic small seaside town everyone should visit. It has the beach, the mountains and the entertainment in a romantic old fashioned way. You can go on a hike to the Wicklow Mountains or just spend the afternoon admiring the beauty of the town.. or maybe you'd like to visit Sea World, oh yes, they've got a big aquarium in Bray too, so there's something for the children aswell. Wicklow Mountain Trail starts just off the beach. In Bray, you really can't get lost, easily anyhow.

For the best part of Bray walk away from the 'fun' on the foreshore and walk south down the Strand toward Bray Head. The further you walk the less people there will be (except perhaps on a fine Sunday), the higher you go, the better the views - over the cliffs, north to Howth. If you walk far enough you'll come to Greystones where you can catch the train back to Bray.
