Bray Head (241 m)
Parking
Yes
Bray Head rises steeply from the sea at the south end of Bray's Victorian promenade, and this loop combines the famous cliff walk above the Dublin–Wexford railway line with a climb to the concrete cross on the 241m summit.
The cliff path delivers constant sea views towards Dalkey Island and Wicklow Head, while the summit adds a panorama over the Sugar Loaf and the Wicklow Mountains. Paths are well-trodden but steep and stony on the summit section — a deservedly popular half-day close to the DART.
