Bray is a Station on the Wicklow Bailway, and is situate twelve miles south of Dublin, on the Eastern Coast of Ireland, opposite to the Coast of Wales, which is easily discernible in fine weather from the grand old headland adjacent to the town, GUIDE TO BRAY. which rises to a height of 800 feet above the sea. English and Scottish tourists have only to consult their local railway guides to ascertain the cost of a trip from their own locality to Dublin, and add one or two shillings to it for the additional run to Bray. It can be reached from England either by the North-Western Railway boats, which come into Dublin, or by the City of Dublin Mail Steamers, which come to Kingstown, which is six miles from Dublin, on the route to Bray. And from Scotland the tourist can come either by the short sea passage, via Belfast to Dublin, or enjoy a most delightful trip on sea the entire way from Greenock. The name of Bray is said by some to be derived from Breagh, brother to the hero Edar, who flour- ished in the ninth century ; but probably Dr. Joyce is more correct in deriving it from the Irish word Bri (Bree), or the Scotch word Brae, signifying a hill or rising ground. Bray and the district about it have been the theatre of many of the sanguinary battles with the ancient Irish ; but for the particulars of these, and of the early annals of the place, we must refer the curious reader to more pretentious volumes. It is enough to state here that the town of Bray has a history of its own more ancient than the Norman Conquest, and possibly more touching and enter- taining than many of the subjects which fill up the GUIDE TO BRAY. 7 principal chapters of English or Scottish history, if it only had its historian or poet to chronicle the events. For centuries the town of Bray had been almost forgotten, even in Ireland, and until within the last thirty years the name of the county of Wicklow or the town of Bray was scarcely known to the Eng- lish or foreign tourist ; and yet this county of Wicklow has been, especially of late years, and is at the present time, the most beautiful and peaceful of all the counties of Ireland, possessing in its compass, and within easy reach of the town of Bray, the most delightful and enchanting scenery in the empire. The town is surrounded by scenery of surpassing beauty and grandeur. Open on one side to the sea, bounded to the south by the noble pro- montory of Bray Head, and more inland by the Sugar Loaf mountains ; westward overlooking the Valley of Diamonds, with an almost endless variety of hill and dale ; to the north the beautiful sands of Killiney, and the Sound and Island of Dalkey ; and the entire panorama backed in the distance towards the north, west, and south by the Dublin and Wick- low mountains. But to come to more business-like particulars, we give below a description of the township and its surroundings, and of the various excursions which are open to the visitor ; and, to become still more 8 GUIDE TO BRAY. practical, the reader will find here all the various necessary requirements of a tourist ; and if others whose numerous “responsibilities” involve slower progress and demand houses to live in for stated periods, all can be supplied without limit. Suffice it to say, that Bray, and the counties of Wicklow and Dublin, which surround it, afford a most satis- factory place of sojourn for the traveller, of recrea- tion and healthful enjoyment for the visitor, and of residence, either temporary or permanent, for those whose desires or tastes prompt them to a more lengthened stay in this charming district ; and its proximity to Dublin, the metropolis of Ireland, makes it still more convenient and desirable. Before mentioning the attractions which surround Bray, we may refer shortly to the town itself. It is situate on the river of the same name, partly in the county Dub] in, and principally in the county of Wicklow. In a very few years it has risen from its long sleep into pleasant activity, and its population has increased from some hundreds to over six thousand. The township is now under the control of a Board of fifteen Commissioners, elected by the ratepayers. It possesses numerous places of Public Worship, comprising nearly all the Christian denominations, and its Schools, both male and female, afford the means of first-class education for the children of GUIDE TO BRAY. 9 people of every rank in life. It has some of the largest and finest hotels in the whole of Ireland, managed upon the most modern and enlightened system, and its numerous cleanly and comfortable private residences afford to those who wish to pro- long their stay in the place all the advantages afforded by the most modern and fashionable Eng- lish or Scottish watering-places or health resorts. The markets will be found to be most comprehen- sive and reasonable in every respect. All kinds of family requisites are procurable on the spot on the most reasonable terms, and in a manner and form equal to the metropolis. The various and attractive mercantile establishments are conducted in first- class style, and on terms which will compare most favourably with other places of fashionable resort. Sea-bathing of the best quality is procurable on a very low scale, under the supervision and control of the township commissioners ; and the amusements, consisting of military bands, flower shows, &c., are supplied by a voluntary committee of residents and visitors, who provide, by private subscrip- tions, for three or four military bands each week, the attendance at which is quite free. These bands play on the Esplanade — a grassy enclosure extend- ing nearly a mile along the seashore in front of the town, and in connection with which a magnificent sea wall and promenade are in course of construction, 10 GUIDE TO BRAY. under the supervision of the township commissioners and their engineer, Mr. Comber, C.E., which, when completed, will be one of the handsomest sea-side promenades in the kingdom. It is in contemplation to establish ornamental gardens for the recreation of the visitors and resi- dents, and to extend and remodel the magnificent walk round Bray Head, which is nearly three miles in length. The principal public buildings in Bray are the palatial hotels, known as Breslin’s Boyal Marine and the International, besides which there is the Bray Head Hotel, situate at the entrance to Bray Head, on the sea-shore, and “ The Royal,” situate in the Main Street. With the latter hotel are asso- ciated most of the old traditions of the place con- nected with “ the good old coaching days.” Besides these, there are some first-class boarding-houses. There is also an excellent club at Bray, which, although particular as to its members, is open to visitors of good social position on temporary ar- rangements. The places of worship consist of the two Episco- palian churches, Christ Church and St. Paul’s ; the former being a modern handsome edifice, now the parish church, the other the old parish church, and now a chapel of ease. There are also two Roman Catholic churches in different parishes, a GUIDE TO BRAY. 11 Presbyterian church, a Wesleyan Methodist church, with meeting-places for the Society of Friends and The Brethren and others. There is a Lo- retto convent, situate on a commanding emin- ence overlooking the town and beach. There is also a large coastguard station, and a courthouse, where quarter sessions and magistrates’ courts are held at stated intervals. In the tower of Christ Church is a peal of eight bells, lately erected by Messrs. Taylor of Loughborough, at an expense of over ^1,100. The Roman Catholic church in the Main street also contains a very fine-toned bell, and there is a magnificent bell on the hill at the convent, but its merits are comparatively unknown from the fact of its being hung too close to the ground. There are also two very picturesque little churches (Episcopalian) within walking distance of Bray — Crinken on the Dublin road, and Kilbride on the Herbert road, towards the Dargle. A notice of the public buildings of Bray would be incomplete without mentioning a magnificent town-hall and public market, which have recently been opened, and which were erected and finished at the sole cost of Lord and Lady Brabazon, at the expense of nearly £7,000. This hall, which has no equal in Ireland, should be seen by the visitor, to appreciate its architectural beauty, and the good taste displayed by the noble donors, and their 12 GUIDE TO BRAY. architect, Mr. Deane. This hall is the place of meeting of the Township Commissioners, and the place of assembly for all concerts and musical entertainments. On the county of Dublin side of the river is an immense “ People’s Park,” which has recently been laid out and planted with orna- mental trees and shrubs by Lord and Lady Brabazon. This park is free to all. Our note of the town would also be incomplete should we forget “ the Irish jaunting car.” This vehicle is peculiar to the Emerald Isle, and its advantages and glories have been sung by poets at various times, but nowhere in the country has the “ outside car” attained such a point of excellence, and nowhere is it horsed in such perfect form and taste as in the town of Bray. The Bray cars will bear comparison with any outside cars in Ireland, and the horses which work them are not excelled, and scarcely equalled, by any post-horses in the world; and the excellence of these conveyances, and the natural courtesy and wit of the “ jarvies ” who drive them, are amongst some of the most pleasing recollections of this place. Bray is called by its ardent admirers 4 4 the Brighton of Ireland.” Upon the merits of its claim to that title we do not wish to descant. No doubt Brighton has many practical advan- tages which do not belong to Bray ; but we fear- BRAY HEAD. 18 lessly assert, that the natural advantages of Bray, derived from its position, its proximity to the metropolis, and the varied beauty of its surrounding scenery, confer on it a title to pre-eminence which Brighton or Scarborough, or other much sought- after English watering-places, can never attain to ; and if after this bold assertion there is any doubt in the mind of any one, we can only say — come here, and judge for yourselves. Amongst the surrounding attractions we may mention the following : — Bray Head. — Situate within a short distance from the town From it is obtained a most admi- rable view ; embracing to the north Killiney Bay, Howth, and the Mourne Mountains in the County Down ; to the west the town of Bray, backed by the Sugar Loaves and Shankhill Mountain ; and to the south Wicklow Head. The Welsh mountains are sometimes discernible on the horizon, in clear weather. In the neighbourhood of Bray are Kil- ruddery, the noble mansion of the Earl of Meath, built in the Elizabethan style, and situated in a beautifully undulating park ; besides Bray demesne, Old Court, with the ruin of De Riddesford’s Castle, in the pleasure-grounds ; Hollybrook, another Eli- zabethan mansion, the residence of Sir Geo. F. Hodson, Bart. ; Wingfield ; and at the other end of 14 GUIDE TO BRAY. the Glen of the Downs, the seat of P. Latouche, Esq. A splendid view of Bray may be had from the Head over the Bray Head Hotel, and a still more enlarged and pleasing view may be had from old Gonna Hill, the residence of Phineas Biall, Esq., and from the hill at the rere of it known as “ Katty Gollagher,” which is a corruption of Carrick Ollaghan or Olla- han’s Rock. This hill is within easy walking distance of the town. V I The Dargle and Powerscourt, as also the Scalp, may be conveniently visited from Bray. A descrip- tion of these places will be found below. From Bray the railway continues to Wicklow and Wexford. BRAY TO THE DARGLE, POWERSCOURT, GLEN OF THE DOWNS, &c. Dargle ; Enniskerry ; Powerscourt Demesne ; Waterfall ; Glencree ; Lough Bray ; Sally Gap ; Luggala ; Lough Tay ; Ballinastoe Inn ; Glen of the Downs. In all about thirty miles. The tourist making Bray his headquarters will find abundant amusement in excursions which may be made from that place. The above-mentioned places may be visited at different times, or if neces- sary, the entire excursion may be accomplished in THE DARGLE, ETC. 15 one day by car. Soon after leaving Bray, the Dargle is entered on foot, and followed to Ennis- kerry* (three miles), and Powersconrt, where the cars should be in waiting ; from Powersconrt a good road proceeds to the Waterfall, and through Glen- cree, to the barrack of that name, from which Lough Bray may be visited, and the military road taken as far as Sally Gap, where, instead of going right on, we take the road to the left, and passing Luggala Lodge and Lough Tay, join the Enniskerry and Boundwood road, about two and a quarter miles from the latter place. This road must be then followed northwards for nearly a mile and a-half, when we turn at a right angle to the east, and reach Ballinastoe, where refreshments may be procured. From here we pursue our journey to Hermitage and Glendalvagli, situate to the north of New- townmountkennedy, and thence by the Glen of the Downs to Bray. The distance in all will be nearly tliirt) miles. Those who wish to see the Glen of the Downs without extending the journey may drive direct thither from Bray. The Waterfall and Demesne of Powerscourt may also have one entire day devoted to them by those who don’t require to rush through their enjoyment. * Cars wait here from Powerscourt, for which a pass should be obtained beforehand from the agency here — Hotel, Powerscourt Arms. 16 GUIDE TO BEAY. The Daegle. — This name is applied to a long glen, through which the river Dargle flows, until it meets Enniskerry river, and thenceforth the united pair form Bray river. The river Dargle takes it rise in Crockan Pond, a hill 1770 feet high, and situated about six or seven miles from Enniskerry. On its way it skirts the war hill, 2250, and comes close to the Boundwood high-road, where one of its tributaries, forming Powerscourt Waterfall, tumbles wildly down the mountain side. The river flows north through the old Deer Park of Powerscourt, and on leaving it becomes the boundary between the seats of Lords Monck and Powerscourt. Mr. Grattan’s property of Tinnehinch is next enlivened by it, where the vale suddenly contracts into a narrow ravine. The length of the glen is about a mile, and the height of some portions of the enclos- ing wall of rocks exceeds 300 feet. These pre- cipitous rocks are, moreover, beautifully clothed with native wild wood and graceful fern. Many parties prefer to enter the glen at the lower end, and leave it at the upper, and not a few will prefer spending the entire summer day in such a shady retreat, particularly if the heat be oppressive on the roads. The view of the Glen from above is exceedingly beautiful ; exhibiting a rare combination of rugged rock, foliage of every tint and form, and the silvery THE DARGLE. 17 stream underneath. It is a fine example of a wooded ravine, and is exceedingly beautiful. The banks on either side, particularly on the right bank of the river, rise in some places to the height of 800 feet, the slopes being completely covered with the loveliest and greenest woods. It is like some of the more wooded glens of the Scottish streams, but softer and richer. Perhaps it comes nearest the character of the Wye, but is on a smaller scale. The river that flows through it is inconsiderable, but large enough to yield the charms both of sight and sound to the traveller, as he treads the shaded path on the brow of the steep above it. One of the best stations for a view of the Glen is known as the Lovers’ Leap, situated at the head of the Glen, and easy of access from the main path. The whole, or nearly the whole of the Glen and its neighbourhood, is observable from that point. Enniskerry, a place much resorted to in the summer months for the salubrity of its air and the beauty of the surrounding scenery. This prettily- built and well-kept village is entirely the property of Viscount Powerscourt, whose noble baronial residence occupies a commanding situation upon a hill about one mile further on, in the direction of Wicklow. B 18 GUIDE TO BRAY. Powerscourt — Four miles from Bray, and three miles from Enniskerry (open on Mondays and Tuesdays, an order from the agency at Enniskerry required on other days) is further up the Glen. It is the property of Viscount Powerscourt. The mansion, finely placed upon a terrace, is built of granite ; it is plain, large, and truly baronial in appearance. Among the apartments, which are ENNISKERRY. very spacious, is the grand saloon, eighty feet by forty, where George IV. was entertained on his visit to Ireland in 1821. The land appertaining to the demesne of Powerscourt is estimated at 26,000 English acres, but the enclosed grounds do not ex- ceed 800 acres. It has frequently changed hands since first becoming English property. De la Poer, THE SCAIP. 19 a Kniglit in Strongbow’s company, was the first English possessor, and by him the castle was built. In the reign of Henry VIII. the castle was taken by the fierce O’Byrnes and O’Tooles of Wicklow, and being retaken by the English, was conferred upon the Talbots. Another Irish clan, the Kavanaghs, obtained possession of it in 1556. In 1608 the property was given by James I. to Sir R. Wingfield, wdio was created Viscount Powerscourt in 1618. The Waterfall. — Four miles from Powerscourt, and eight miles from Bray — is regarded as a splendid sight, as shown by the Illustration on our cover. When seen after heavy rain, it is indeed magnificent. In the immediate vicinity of the cascade, is a grassy nook much resorted to by pic-nic parties. The Scalp. — It appears as if the mountain had been torn asunder by some great natural con- vulsion. On either hand immense masses of granite, pile on pile, seem as if just arrested in their down- ward progress. The north-eastern side has of late years been planted, but as you advance, the scene becomes gradually more sterile, and the mountain sides seem actually to threaten an avalanche of granite. Beyond the Scalp, a truly magnificent view gradually opens. In front are the Great and Lesser Sugarloaf, two mountains known of old by 20 GUIDE TO BRAY. an Irish name, signifying the Silver Spears , in allusion to their peaked form and the white and silvery appearance of their barren summits. To the left is the rugged outline of Bray Head , beneath the shade of which some of our historians believe that St. Patrick first landed. On the extreme left is a picturesque mountain, known as Katty Gallagher , that having been the name of a resident who, in the year 1798, gave shelter to fugitive patriots. THE SCALP. Tinnehinch House. — Half a mile from Powers- court, on the Dargle — is the property of the descendants of the patriot and orator, Henry Grattan. The Irish Parliament, appreciating the noble exertions of this wonderful man, purchased the property for him, in order that he might end in peace a life which had been so laborious. CHARLEVILLE, GLENCREE, ETC. 21 Charleville, the handsome seat of Viscount Monck, closely adjoins those of Lord Powerscourt and Mr. Grattan. From this point, if time per- mitted, the tourist would enjoy a drive up Glencree. Glencree joins the Dargle at the Wooden Bridge. At the head of the Glen will be seen Glencree Barracks — now used as a Boman Catholic Reform- atory. It would be a variation of the road to send the conveyance round to Lough Bray Cottage, where, after a quiet walk up the Glen, and a visit to the Loughs Bray, upper and lower, under the Hill of Kippure (2473 feet), the tourist could join it, and then take the military road as far as Sally Gap, where, adopting the left-hand road, a wild unin- habited region is passed over to the east of Luggala and Lough Tay, and then join the road about two and a quarter miles from Roundwood. By taking this detour, the car will require to travel about twenty miles from Bray to Roundwood, instead of thirteen by the regular road. Loughs Bray, Upper and Lower, are situate on the side of the ridge of Kippure, one mile south of Glencree Barracks. The former covers an area of twenty-eight acres, at an elevation of 1453 feet above the sea. The situation of the lower lake is highly picturesque, being backed by rocks and 22 GUIDE TO BRAY. crags of most fantastic shapes, relieved by the beautiful rustic cottage of Lough Bray, and its cultivated grounds, which extend to the margin of the lake. Kippure rises 1450 feet above the lower lake. Continuing still onward, we pass Crokan Pond to our left, and reach Sally Gap, where the road to Blessington turns off at an acute angle to the right, and that to Luggala at an obtuse angle to the left, the direct military road to Laragh proceeding in a straight course before us. Blessington is about eleven miles from Sally Gap. A pleasant divergence of the route from Glencree to Boundwood is to take a by-path over the face of a hill to the right, until in sight of Lough Tay, and discover an extensive prospect. Far under our feet is a plantation of larches, and at the end of the nook we overlook the Annamoe Biver. The house, to the northern end of the lake, embosomed in trees and shrubs, and surrounded with grass sward, whose verdure contrasts strangely with the brown sterility around it, is Luggala Lodge, the property of Lord Powers- court. LOUGH TAY, ETC. 23 Lough Tay receives its supply of water principally from the river Annamoe, which, just before enter- ing it, falls down a rock close beside Luggala Lodge. It is situated about 807 feet above the sea, is circular in form, about half-a-mile in diameter, and a mile and a-lialf in circumference. The Glen in whose upper end this lake is placed, is about ten miles in length, extending to Laragli. Lough Dan is situated two miles further down the Glen, and has an elevation of 685 feet, being 122 feet lower than Lough Tay. It is a larger lake, and receives a portion of its supply from Avonmcre. This lake is surrounded with wild hills covered with heath and furze, the hill on its northern side being Knocknaclogliole, 1754 feet ; on the east, Slievebuck, 1581 feet. Excellent fishing can be found at Lough Dan. Roundwood — originally named Toglia — is a small hamlet, chiefly interesting to the tourist as being the reservoir for the supply of the Dublin Water- works, which were constructed in 1868 by enclosing the waters of the Vartry. From here the tourist may return to Bray, either direct, via the Dargle, a distance of fourteen miles, or by Newtownmount- kennedy, through the Glen of the Downs. He may also proceed to Annamoe and the Seven Churches. 24 GUIDE TO BKAY. The tourist who does not follow the route by Sally Gap, but who, after visiting Powerscourt and the Waterfall, proceeds direct to the Glen of the Downs, will take the road which turns to the left round the southern base of the Sugar Loaf (1659 feet), and, passing Glen Cottage, arrive at The Glen of the Downs. — The glen is about a mile and a-lialf in length, and 150 feet in width. Dor a considerable distance it runs along the foot of the Downs Mountain, which rises 1,282 feet. The sides of the glen rise somewhat abruptly to a height of about 600 feet, and, being closed with a dense covering of copsewood, a rich effect is produced. Prom the glen a view is obtained of the greater Sugar Loaf Mountain. There are two mountains bearing this name. The Glen of the Downs is visited for tlie beauties of Mr. LaTouche’s demesne of Bellevue here. From the Glen of the Downs the drive back to Bray is five miles.

There a car may be had to pro- ceed either direct to the Devil’s Glen or to the village of Ashford. Near the latter place are the classic grounds of Rosanna, where Mrs. Tighe com- posed the well-known poem of Psyche, and now the seat of Mr. Tighe. The estate is one of the best wooded in the county. Supposing we proceed direct from Rathnew to the glen, the road ascends gra- 26 GUIDE TO BRAY. dually, with beautiful hedgerows on either side, till the gate of Ballycurry demesne is reached (three miles). The car may pass the first gate, but at the second the traveller must alight, and proceed on foot up The Devil’s Glen — about a mile and a-lialf in length, and watered by the River Vartry, which forms a beautiful cascade at its upper extremity. The country above the waterfall is flat and dreary, and we can scarcely expect in passing over it to find such a romantic nook as that which we now refer to. The glen is somewhat like the Dargle in ap- pearance, but more picturesque, of a more sombre cast, and on a grander scale, the rocks in some places rising 400 feet above the stream. The path- way up the glen follows the left bank of the stream. Scrambling up the side of the glen till the top of the declivity is attained, a fine prospect bursts on the view, including the fall, and in the distance the Wicklow mountains, among which Lugnaquilla (3039 feet) is the most prominent. Returning by the same path to the car in waiting, the tourist may proceed to the Seven Churches, via Ashford. From this a drive of seven miles will take us to the village of Annamoe. — It is situated on the rivulet of the same name, which issues out of Lough Dan. Whilst GLENDALOUGH, 27 on the bridge at Annamoe, it would be well to take a look across the valley to a green knoll, about a mile distant, on which are situated The Ruins of Castle Kevin. — This was from time immemorial the stronghold of the O’Tooles, who, with the O’Byrnes, held the greater part of Wicklow. A little further on is the village of Laragh. — The village itself is beautifully situated at a spot where the vales of Laragh, Clara, and Glendalough meet. We turn to the right, through the village, passing the beautiful little property of Derrybawn, so called from the mountain under which it is situated. The road from Laragh now strikes westward for a mile and a-lialf, and, passing the Seven Churches on our left, we reach GLENDALOUGH. 28 GUIDE TO BRAY. Glendalough. — The vale of Glendalough. The principal attraction in the vale is the mass of ruins scattered over it, known by the name of The Seven Churches. — Many and curious are the traditions current concerning the founder of a seat of learning in this lonely wilderness. The Bound Tower is one of the finest of the kind in Ireland. Its height is 110 feet, and cir- cumference 51 ; is built of granite and slate inter- mixed. Above the door are two small windows, and at the top are four more, as in that at Clondalkin. St. Kevin’s Kitchen is the most perfect ruin now standing in the vale. It is a little building 22 feet long by 15 wide. The roof is of slabs of stone. At the west end is a belfry, which may easily be mistaken for a chimney, and hence the title vulgarly applied, to the building. st. Kevin’s kitchen. THE SEVEN CHURCHES. 29 The Cathedral is situated at a short distance to he north. Our Lady’s Chapel. — Both are very small build- ings, particularly the former, when we consider the imposing title it bears. They are very ancient, and Pelasgic or Cyclopean in style, and are most in- teresting specimens of early Irish architecture. The Ivy Church, or Trinity Church, is situated near the village of Laragh. Like the others, it is very small, and of rude construction. Beside it is a portion of a round tower. St. Saviour’s Abbey is situated on the Derry- bawn property. On architectural points, it is undoubtedly a very interesting ruin. The Sacristy is a portion of the burying-ground set aside for the repose of Catholic clergy. In the burying-ground, and indeed scattered all over the valley, are stone crosses of various sizes ; one in the cemetery is made of one piece of granite eleven feet high. The ruins we have been describing are principally situated at the lower end of the Lower Lake, which is about a quarter of a mile long. It is generally said by guides to be that into 30 GUIDE TO BRAY. which St. Patrick banished the last snakes. Half- a-mile, or a little less, above this is the Upper Lake, a mile in length, and celebrated as the scene of Kathleen’s death. On the south side of the lake rises Lugduff Hill, and on a craggy face of it is situated the celebrated Bed of St. Kevin, to enter which has been the ambition of almost all tourists. Yale of Clara, through which flows the Avon- more river, swelled by the waters of Annamoe, Glenmacnass, Glendassan, and Glendalough. Pass- ing on to the town of Bathdrum, between six and seven miles from Laragh, the train can be taken, which follows the course of the river, and enters The Yale of Ovoca. — The mansion of Avondale, the seat of Mr. Charles S. Parnell, M.P., is passed on the right, and then appear the turrets of Castle Howard. — “ The Meeting of the Waters” is soon approached, where the Avonbeg unites with the Avonmore, and flows down the vale under the •name of the Ovoca, amid projecting rocks, o’er- YALE OF OYOCA. 81 hanging trees, and every adjunct to picturesque effect. About this place the national poet sung : — “ There is not in the wide world a valley so sweet As the vale in whose bosom the bright waters meet ; Oh ! the last rays of feeling and life must depart Ere the bloom of that valley shall fade from my heart.” The valley is about eight miles in length, when we arrive at Wooden Bridge, from which the tourist may return by train direct to Bray. There are trains with excursions from Bray to Wicklow, Wooden Bridge, Lugnaquilla, and other places. The Monthly Pocket Time Tables, issued by the Dublin, Wicklow, and Wexford Bailway Company, can be had gratis, on application to any of the Station Masters along the Line. 82 GUIDE TO BRAY.
