"Bray, County Wicklow, Ireland" Bray by Mrl3ill

Small resort town on the East coast. I was there on business, not pleasure. I had a day off, but did not have a car to go sightseeing. Within walking distance is Bray's Head. A small "mountain" that juts out a little into the ocean. It has some unmarked paths up to the top where you get a great view. There is also a path called the "cliff walk" that was marked closed do to unstable ground. I later learned from a local that he had walked it recently and had no problem.

I stayed at the Royal Hotel. Not bad, although the beds and pillow were quite hard and the TV didn't work very well. Most places I ate were quite good.

Plenty of pubs and restaurants (there is a McDonalds!), a movie theater, bowling alley, and a small sports stadium for local games.

• Pros:Nice beach & boardwalk. Train (the Dart) gives easy access to Dublin and the airport.
• Cons:Not much for tourists in town.
• In a nutshell:Might be a good base to visit other sights in Ireland.
