Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The Bray head Cliff Walk has much to offer!
The hike up to the cross is quite steep, but it definitely is worth the sweat. Behind the cross the path continues in lovely landskapes that look quite similar to alpine pastures. The only difficulty is getting to Greystones, as the lower cliff walk is closed due to a rockslide.

Wonderful way to spend an afternoon. Great seanery and Seaviews. A hidden gem to a certain extent. A pint or a bag of chips at the end of it . Highly recommended

Unfortunately, due to rock falls, the Bray to Greystones cliff walk is completely closed as of 11th Nov. The new barriers put in place are totally impassable unlike the barriers that people have been able to walk around previously. It is unknown when the walk may reopen.

I almost quit a thousand times, but it was so worth it!!! The view was breathtaking and there is a hidden, abandoned church used for bootleggers. That was neat to research.

This was a beautiful place to stop for a walk along the cliffs. It was well worth the visit and pleased we took the time to stop. Wish we had longer to keep walking for the amazing views. We were there only 2 hours and wish we had all day to enjoy the views and walk.

The route along the coastal stiff path towards Greystones is definitely worth doing. Most of the path is slightly uphill but level, and there are ruins and interesting artefacts to be seen along the way. Nice seabird colony.

We went for a walk last Sunday . Beautiful sunny day and the views were beautiful too ☀️ Loved the walk. The weekend seems to be busy with tourists and walkers. Midweek is quieter time to go 👍

takes about 1.5/2hrs. Very easy mostly flat all the way, stunning views of the coast, easy to spot boats and birds and other wildlife along the way. Very easy to follow a straight line most of the way. Runs along the DART (train) line. easy to do the walk one way and hop on the DART to get back from where you came instead of walking all the way back again.

Is this walk suitable if not great with heights?

Yes, there is either a wall or shrubs between you and the edge. Should be no problem.

Does anyone know if this Cliff Walk is on a paved surface or what kind of surface it is? (Dirt? Gravel?) I'm a pretty active manual wheelchair user and I'm trying to determine if I can do this

Hi Sorry only answering now. The Cliff Walk is unpaved - Compressed Dirt.
You should be able to do handle a good bit of this in your wheelchair.
Its really lovely if you get the chance to visit.
All the best

Bonjour comment accéder au départ de la randonnée depuis le DART? J arrive de Dublin je pensais descendre du DART faire la rando puis reprendre le DART pour rentrer. Merci

En sortant de la station à Bray, descendre sur la droite à la plage, longer en remontant la plage sur la droite, le départ est complètement à l'opposé. Au bout de la plage il y a une route qui monte vers un mini parking, le départ de la rando est en face. Une fois arrivé c'est pareil, il faut longer la plage toujours tout droit et remonter de l'autre côté du village pour trouver la station. D'un côté comme de l'autre il faut compter 15 bonnes minutes de marche entre la station et le chemin de rando.

Could you cycle this path??

It isn't maintained for cyclists - parts of it are narrow and have steps. Plus there's a lot of human traffic - so you won't get a free run.

Hola! Comentarte que entre Wicklow y Bray hay unos 28km. La mejor opción sería trasladarse en transporte público. E iniciar la ruta desde Bray. Un saludo y buen día. Juanjo Mier
