Who Takes This Route?
Bray is Wicklow's largest town — a seaside favourite with the 3 km promenade, Bray Head cliff walk, and a direct DART line to Dublin. This route serves day-trippers, visitors staying in Bray hotels, and locals heading to the airport.
There are two ways to drive it: the M50 loop around the city (most predictable) or the M11 coast road via Dún Laoghaire and Killiney (scenic, slower in summer traffic).
