Children’s Camps are also scheduled during school holiday periods. These provide an ideal way to introduce children to the world of ponies as the camps combine riding lessons with pony care lectures and practicals where they learn about looking after a pony.
For the Adventurer - Bray Head to Greystones Cliff Walk: One of the highlights of walking in Wicklow. This linear walk takes you from Bray to Greystones along the stunning coastal path. The path is well maintained and you can return by light rail (DART) to the start point. Greystones has plenty to offer the hungry walker after beautiful views and a range of marine wildlife. From Bray start, there is a path leading to the top of Bray Head offering stunning views of the Irish Sea, The Wicklow Mountains and Bray. This is a very enjoyable walk in a spectacular coastal setting linking Bray and Greystones. It brings you around the side of Bray Head above the railway line and rocky coastline on a path which is a bit rough in places, with a steep climb at the Bray end. Views both up and down the coast are breath-taking.
Getting Around Bray: Bus stop located 1 minute from our home and the train station is 10 minutes walking. Buses and trains (D.A.R.T) run regularly to and from Dublin City. Guests are welcome to leave their cars parked at the house to avoid traffic and parking in the City. New ELECTRIC BIKE scheme launching in Spring 2023 - Bray is the perfect location for a shared electric bike scheme. Aside from being a sustainable alternative to car trips, electric bikes can offer a more accessible option for many. They can also assist when tackling some of Bray's hilly stretches. The simpler and more convenient we can make accessing electric bikes, the more likely people are to use them." Hide
Golf - Bray Golf Club: Bray Golf Club is a magnificent USGA-standard parkland course, set in nearly 200 acres, combining stunning scenery with a classic layout.

Described as a striking example of modern design with old style golfing values, Bray provides the perfect environment for all golfers. Spectacular views of the Wicklow Mountains and Killiney Bay are evident throughout the course. The signature hole is the 11th measuring 320 yards from the White Markers. From the tee the views are spectacular as the fairway rises up in front of you winding its way between strategically placed bunkers to meet the tiered green. The backdrop to the hole is the beautiful Killiney Bay with the sea extending from Bray promenade all the way to the village of Dalkey.
