Bray Head (Irish: Ceann Bhré) is a 241 m (791 ft) hill and headland located in northern County Wicklow, Ireland, between the towns of Bray and Greystones. It forms part of the Wicklow Mountains and is a popular spot with hillwalkers. At the top of the head is a concrete cross which was placed there in 1950 during the holy year.
Also here is an essay about Bray Head written by two Sixth Classers, John Power and Jared Egan!
We had no idea how long or difficult it would be so promised to head back if we weren't at the top within an hour.
The views from the top were stunning. You could see all of Dublin Bay, Dalkey, Dalkey Island, Howth and behind us the twin Sugar Loafs of the Wicklows.
While on top a group of horses slowly headed by.
We checked them out, and then headed back, Maggie via trail and Johnny, naturally, the hard way down a rarely-used path full of rock and bramble.
*Somehow I never actually posted this as one of my nine walks.

| The cliffwalk to Greystones. |
