Coach Hire Bray
Bray sits between the sea and the Wicklow Mountains, close enough to Dublin to be a base for both. The Dublin legs need the most planning; the Wicklow outings are short.
Dublin Airport and the M50 toll
Dublin Airport is about 40 km by road via the M50 and M11, around 40 to 50 minutes. The western M50 route passes the barrier-free toll between Junctions 6 and 7. There is no booth: the toll is paid afterwards, by 20:00 the next day. Ask the operator to confirm it is handled and shown on the quote.
Dublin city centre is about 20 km away but takes around 40 minutes, longer than the distance suggests. For a theatre night or dinner in town, agree the pickup point and return time in advance; late evenings add to the driver's day.
Walking the Cliff Walk to Greystones
The Cliff Walk from Bray Head to Greystones is about 7 km along the coast. It suits a coach trip because the vehicle does not follow the walkers: drop the group in Bray and have the coach collect in Greystones, about 15 minutes away by road. Leave slack in the pickup time, as walking groups spread out.
The Victorian seafront and promenade below Bray Head is where most groups start. Seafront coach set-down points are not published, so give us the meeting address and the operator identifies where to drop and wait.

Powerscourt, Killruddery and Wicklow days
Powerscourt Estate, with its house, gardens and waterfall near Enniskerry, is about 8 km, roughly 15 minutes. Killruddery House and Gardens is on the southern edge of Bray itself. Either fills a morning.
Glendalough, the monastic site in the Wicklow Mountains, is about 35 km, around 45 minutes. Avoca is about 45 km, around 50 minutes. Together they make a Wicklow day; tell us the order and the lunch stop so the operator can place the driver's breaks.
Questions
How does the toll work on the way to Dublin Airport?
The western M50 route passes the barrier-free toll between Junctions 6 and 7. Nothing is paid at the roadside; payment is due by 20:00 the next day.
Can the coach pick us up in Greystones after the Cliff Walk?
Yes. The sensible plan is to set down in Bray and collect in Greystones, a short drive round by road.
How long is a Glendalough trip from Bray?
Glendalough is about 45 minutes each way, which leaves plenty of time on site. Avoca can be added for a full day.
Can you arrange transport to a game at the Carlisle Grounds?
Yes. The Carlisle Grounds is home to Bray Wanderers. Send the kick-off time and your pickup address.
