Bray - tips?

December2012

Heading out to Bray this afternoon for a meeting. I'm driving but the family are getting the dart and meeting me after to make an afternoon of it (mother in law, other half and kids).

Where's good to eat? Where's interesting to walk to / go? I don't think they'd have much interest in Sealife.

Martello is good to eat - if you want a longish walk - the cliff walk - somewhere a little bit further out - maybe Powersourt

Definitely walk the cliff path, or climb up Bray Head if the family are up to that. Eating wise on the sea front, the Martello is good as mango salsa said, or if you're just wanting a snack and a coffee the Campo de Fiori "risto market" is nice.

Thanks but they won't want to be doing much walking or climbing anywhere today. A leisurely stroll perhaps?

And is there likely to be parking spaces available at the dart station?

The seafront is probably the place to have a stroll, from the north end by the harbour bar to the bottom of Bray Head (approx 30 mins).

I'd second the Martello also for food.

Well, the cliff walk is only a stroll really. Just walk along the seafront towards Bray Head, and carry on. Even if you only walk up as far as the start of the cliff path proper at the bridge over the railway line it's worth it just for the views to the north.

Plenty of parking around, but watch out as the parking directly in front of the station is paid only although the signs aren't that obvious. Plenty of (paid) parking down on the sea front as well.

Yes, Martello is very nice. Also Jim Doyle's, good quality and large portions.

you cant beat campo de fiori risto market for good cappucino for €1.90 compared to the martellos €2.85 and a tasty pizzini toasted sandwich for a fiver.
