Easily accessible through DART (local train). Our fav activity is to get down either at Bray station, do a 7-8km cliff walk with amazing views to Greystones, enjoy food/ drinks and take the dart back from Greystones station. Quaint village with nice restaurants. Sip a coffee at Shoe Lane or Happy pear, eat at Daata for amazing Indian/ Pakistani food
