Bray Head (Irish: Ceann Bré) is a hill (241m/790 ft) in North County Wicklow, Republic of Ireland, between the towns of Bray and Greystones. It forms part of the Wicklow Mountains. It is a popular spot with hill-walkers. The Dublin-Wicklow railway line runs outside Bray Head along the coast, sometimes travelling within feet of the cliffs.

Bray (population about 26,000) is known as the "Gateway to Wicklow" and is the longest established seaside town in the country.
Bray is the only example in the Republic of Ireland of a town comparable to what is so much a part of the English experience, the seaside resort town.
The natural conformation of the coast around BrayHead lent itself readily to the adaptation of places of concealment, of which there were several, but the principal one was that known as "The Brandy Hole," half a mile along the shore from where the road crosses the railway on the Head.
