Just thought I'd mention that the cliff walk is officially closed, because of a rock fall recently. It is possible, with a lot of effort and scrambling through brambles, to get around the falen rocks, but, there is another cliff walk, further up, that is well worth doing. The (lower) cliff walk you have outlined in your article is one of my favourite walks in wicklow, but, because of the rock fall I decided to take the (upper) cliff walk today and I forgot how amazing the views are from up there. Brief directions for the (upper) cliff walk would be to walk up to the cross on top of Bray head and follow the track behind the cross, until you come to the pointed rock mound (where walkers have placed a rock on what has become very large pile over the years). Leave the track, descend down (it's a little steep at this point) to the very narrow dirt track that runs beside the rock mound and follow it until you come to a larger path that runs at right angles to the sea. Turn left and descend down the path towards the sea until you come to a gate...once over the gate, you're on the (lower) cliff walk and you can follow the directions given above. It's a tougher walk than the (lower) cliff walk, but, the views are incredible. Not suitable for children. The track isn't walled off like the lower cliff walk and there are some unprtotected steep drops on the sea side of the upper cliff walk that wouldn't suit children running about. nice blog.
