Descent: 233m

Places: Start at O2751515403, Bray Head Hill, end at Start
Logged as completed by 1

Start from the Bray to Greystones road R761 on a small side road. There's parking for a number of cars. Walk up the track to the open, higher ground.
Looking south along the walk.

and Sugar Loaf behind.


There are a number of high paths on the route. Where they overlook the sea they form a grand balcony above the lower and well known cliff path (Bray to Greystones) which in turn is above the railway and the rocky shoreline.
The north end of the walk overlooks Bray and the huge sweep of the coastline to Killiney.
On a good day such as the one on which this walk was done, you may encounter quite large numbers of people strolling up from Bray, at the north end of the route.

Your time to complete will depend on your speed plus break time and your mode of transport. For walkers: Naismith's rule, an approximate though often inaccurate estimate, suggests a time of 1h 40m + time stopped for breaks
NOTE: It is up to you to ensure that your route is appropriate for you and your party to follow bearing in mind all factors such as safety, weather conditions, experience and access permission.
