Bray travel guide

about Bray

Bray (Irish: Brí Chulainn) is a former seaside resort in north county Wicklow, Ireland. Located at the southern end of what was the Dublin & Kingstown Railway, the first railway line in Ireland, it was popular for day-trippers from Dublin city. Nowadays the town is the origin of many commuters to the city, with the DART running along mostly the same route.

Bray, known as the Gateway to the Garden of Ireland, is positioned in northeast Wicklow, just south of Dublin. Tourism has always been associated with Bray, which is the longest established seaside town in the country. The outbreak of World War 2 put the industry 'on hold' for its duration. However, during the 1950s tourists from England, Scotland and Northern Ireland returned to Bray in great numbers to escape the austerity of rationing.

Bray geography

Bray is the eighth largest town in Ireland with a population of 28,002 inhabitants, as at the 2002 Census.

The river Dargle enters the sea here.

Bray Head is the highest point in the locality. On the coast, Shankill, county Dublin is to the north, and Greystones, county Wicklow is to the south. The picturesque village of Enniskerry lies to the west of the town, at the foot of the Wicklow Mountains.

Inland from Bray and Shankhill can be at Ballycorus.
