Bray Head climb ‘must be reinstated with designated trail to combat erosion’

A recreational feasibility study commissioned by Wicklow County Council recommends reinstating the Bray Head climb while managing uncontrolled trails to protect the area's biodiversity. The study highlights environmental issues like erosion and 'trail braiding' caused by unregulated foot traffic. Although the Bray to Greystones cliff walk is a local campaign focus, it is not a top priority. The report outlines five priorities, starting with restoring the Bray Head climb and ending with evidence-based interventions. The site is designated as a Special Area of Conservation and Special Amenity Area, imposing legal and ecological restrictions.
