Bray-Greystones Cliff walk

This guide to the Bray-Greystones cliff walk near Dublin follows the railway that once ran along these cliffs, built by engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel through landslips and tunnel collapses that earned it the nickname Brunel's Folly. It covers the smugglers who used a sea cave here before the railway blasted it away, and the ordinary Friday morning in August 1867 when a train from Enniscorthy set out along the timber viaduct at Ram Scalp, right on schedule. It also traces who controlled the gate onto this cliffside path in the years before the crash.
