Lough Bray
Duration: about 2 hours
A shortish walk around Lough Bray Lower, with great views over secluded Lough Bray lodge. A longer walk around both Lough Bray Upper and Lough Bray Lower is also possible, but I prefer the shorter walk myself.

Route
- The route starts at the path beside the gatehouse to Lough Bray lodge. There is a layby a hundred metres or so further along the road where its possible to park, although it can get tricky to find space in summer.
Gatehouse at start of route
Path at start of walk - Follow the path away from the road and you will soon see Lough Bray Lower. Follow the path around to the left and around the lough where it then climbs steeply up to Eagle Crag. There are excellent views over both loughs, and of Lough Bray lodge.
View over Lough Bray Upper from Eagle Crag - From Eagle Crag, bear right and follow the path along the ridge around Lough Bray Lower. This returns to the road to the north of the gatehouse, from where it is a short walk back to the start of the route.

Hi,
(Father of 3!)
Just stumbled upon your site.
Great idea and a very fair comment about the lack of such a site on web etc.
One small suggest is to put road numbers onto all routes. E.g. lough Bray is on the R115.
Anyway thanks for your site and I hope to persuade my family to do the lough bray walk tomorrow.!!

I was hoping the google maps would take care of that, but point taken. I’ll add some more road details.

Love this site, great idea thank you! Would love to see printed which walks could be done with a pram.. We’re up for doing all walks 2-3 hours +.
Thanks a mill

Hmm, I’m not sure any of the walks here area really feasible with a pram. I do have a couple of new walks which I would say would be ok with a pram – one in Cruagh Wood and the other at the Lead Chimney near the Scalp – but I haven’t had time to add them online just yet. Will try to get them posted up asap.

The lough dan walk could be done with a pram if you stick to the road and path. You may need a little help getting over the stile, but i am sure it can be done. Be prepared for hard push up hill!
