Join BBC Coast on a journey north from Wicklow Head to Bray, with stunning glimpses of the coastal railway, which tunnels through granite mountainside as it hugs the Irish Sea.
Why not come #BackToWicklow this summer to travel this scenic route and enjoy the same views and thrills! This route forms part of the direct link from Dublin City Centre to Rosslare, so it's even possible to do in reverse (Bray to Wicklow) as part of a day trip from Dublin.
Spend some time is Wicklow Town before your travel onwards or back to Dublin where you can explore the Black Castle and family favourites Wicklow Bowl & KidZone and Wicklow's Historic Gaol, water activities like Wicklow Kayaking and Wicklow Boat Charters, cafes and much much more 😊

The Octagon framing the view over the Glen of the Downs Nature Reserve 💚
The Reserve is home to the finest example of oak wood of it’s type close to Dublin. It is largely Sessile Oak with an understorey of Holly and a dense carpet of Woodrush, Bilberry and Heather.
The woods abound in bird-life and 21 breeding species have been recorded here. Each bird species occupies a distinct niche in the woodland having different feeding and nesting habits.
There are forest walks, suitable for all the family, or a more challenging climb will bring you higher up where views of the Wicklow Mountains and Irish Sea can be enjoyed!
