Bray Neighbourhood Guide
Dublin
About Bray
Bray is a lively coastal town on the Dublin–Wicklow border, with a strong residential feel, a busy seafront and easy access to the countryside. Although the locality is in County Wicklow rather than County Dublin, the A98 routing key covers Bray and nearby north Wicklow areas, making it popular with commuters heading towards Dublin. Daily life centres on Bray Main Street, the seafront promenade and the wide range of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and pubs. The DART provides a particularly convenient rail connection, while Dublin Bus services and the N11/M11 corridor support commuting by public transport and car. Families have access to several established primary and secondary schools, alongside further education at nearby Bray Institute of Further Education. Leisure options include Bray Head, the Victorian promenade, Killruddery House and Gardens, sporting clubs and the coastal walking routes towards Greystones. Rathmichael and Shankill are close to the north, while the town’s mix of seaside character, amenities and transport makes it one of the most connected places in north Wicklow.
