Severe Weather Sparks New Cliff Walk Warning

Going down…?

atest press release from Wicklow County Council, issued on Friday, February 13th 2026…

As you are aware the Bray to Greystones Cliff Walk remains closed due to significant safety concerns.

To assess if further deterioration had occurred after recent severe weather events, RPS consultants carried out a visual inspection along the Cliff Walk path on the Greystones side.

Following this assessment RPS has identified further deterioration of the slopes. These slopes were previously assessed by RPS as having the highest risk of failure.

As it was not safe to access the sea cliffs, the likelihood that further unidentified instability is present within the sea cliffs cannot be discounted.

Please be aware that given the unstable nature of these features and their proximity to the path they represent a significant risk to the path and any persons using the path.

Wicklow County Council wishes to remind the public that the Greystones Cliff Walk remains closed due to these significant safety concerns.
