Cliff Walk sunrise by Adrian Hendroff
t’s just about the most beautiful stretch of the legs you’re going to find in 
Wicklow – and that’s saying something.
Covering roughly four miles between Greystones to That Other Place, this life-enhancing walk takes about one and a half hours to cover – and along the way, The Cliff Walk will take your breath away.
Actually, this is a relatively breezy walk, as you echo the railway line – built between 1847 and 1856 – along some of 
Ireland’s most stunning, rugged coastline, with the path hugging the nearly 800-foot Bray Head, each corner revealing ever more stunning scenery.
And those beautiful low stone walls, flowering yellow gorse and shoulder-height ferns will guide you along views of stunning slate cliffs and fifty shades of blue looking back across Dublin Bay to the north or Kilcoole, Wicklow and beyond to the south.Â
You can find out a little bit about The Cliff Walk history here, take a snow-covered walk there with Joe Redmond here, and take a walk with GG on a beautifully sunny February day along the path right here. You can also check out Fáilte Ireland’s take on The Cliff Walk here. Oh, and if you’re in a hurry, here’s a funky, short drone ride, taken from above 
on Saturday, April 16th 2016. And if all that doesn’t exhaust you, go Take A Hike here.Â
In the meantime, enjoy this collection of photographs, postcards and paintings below of one of the finest fitness course in the world. But not before you get an education from this rather fine 2011 documentary…Â
