Hi Folks,

There is a track that goes from behind the cross on Bray Head, that heads towards Greystones and then heads down before terminating on the old Greystones road at Windgates, was trying to research the history of this and could only find that The Earl of Neath , who owned Bray Head at the end of the 19th century built a carriage path around the top of the mountain from which to show important visitors the beautiful scenery.
I have also heard that it was built for Queen victoria but subsequently not used due to safety concerns regarding a potential attack.

Just wondering if anyone on here has any additional information.

Thanks in advance
