Bray has much to offer visitors and has a combination of the naturally dramatic scenery coupled with man-made attractions. The town is a very popular base for walkers to stay, the promenade alone is over a mile in length and runs from the harbour to Bray Head which is at the southern end of the promenade. A beautiful colony of mute swans graces the water at the harbour.
