The Bray Head Loop is a scenic loop trail offering sweeping views of Bray, Dublin Bay, and the Irish Sea. 

Starting near Vevay Road or Lower Windgates, the route winds through native woodland before climbing steadily to Bray Head Cross. From here, walkers can enjoy panoramic vistas and optionally descend to Bray Promenade. The trail continues south along coastal farmland and turns inland near Greystones. Red arrows mark the loop, which finishes along the R761 back to Bray. It’s a rewarding walk through varied landscapes.
