Dublin
About Bray
Bray is a lively coastal town in County Wicklow, immediately south of the Dublin border and close to Shankill and Rathmichael, with A98 as its main Eircode routing key. It combines established residential streets and family housing with a busy town centre, seafront and the wooded slopes of Bray Head. Daily life is shaped by the promenade, beach and harbour, while Bray’s Main Street and surrounding streets provide supermarkets, independent shops, cafés, restaurants and traditional pubs. The town has a broad choice of schools, including primary and secondary options, with further education and Dublin institutions accessible by public transport. Commuters can use Bray Daly railway station, DART and Dublin Bus services, while the N11 and M50 provide convenient road access towards Dublin and Wicklow. Leisure options include walking Bray Head, swimming and watersports, sports clubs, parks and the Mermaid Arts Centre. The area also benefits from nearby attractions such as Killruddery House and Gardens and the scenic coastal route towards Greystones, making Bray practical for commuting while retaining a strong seaside-town character.
