County Wicklow: Greystones

6th July 2017.

Greystones (population 20,000) a seaside town in County Wicklow. Maybe 5 kilometres south of Bray, where I had visited on 22nd June.

Back in 1977, the time of the Silver Jubilee of “Queen” Elizabeth of England, I stayed in Bray and actually walked over the cliffs to Greystones.

Unfortunately my camera phone ran out of battery and could not take photographs.

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.
