County Wicklow: Bray

22nd June 2017.

Bray (population 30,000) is a seaside town about 22 kilometres south of Dublin and just over the county line in Wicklow.

Popular day trip destination for Dubliners and also for holiday makers, I have stayed there on several occasions, my first visit being a day trip with a church youth group in June 1966.

It is now a commuter town.

I took the DART (Dublin Area Rapid Transport) train from Dublin.

Looking south along the promenade. The hill is Bray Head. There is a cross at the summit and I climbed to there with friends in 1966. And again with my wife and sons in 1992.

Looking north along the Promenade.

The British War Memorial is near the railway station.
