Bray, Coastal resort in County Wicklow, Ireland.

Located at the northern edge of County Wicklow, Bray extends along a sandy beach with Bray Head mountain rising 243 meters above the sea.

Originally a small fishing village within the medieval Pale district, Bray transformed into a Victorian resort after the railway connection to Dublin opened in 1854.

The Mermaid Arts Centre presents regular theater performances, art exhibitions, and music events, representing the local creative expressions throughout the year.

The Dublin Area Rapid Transit system connects Bray to central Dublin in 40 minutes, with trains departing from Bray Daly station every 15 minutes.

Ardmore Studios, established in 1958, serves as Ireland's first film production facility and has supported productions including Excalibur and Braveheart.
