With some awesome road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to experience all that Bray, 19 miles away, has to offer. Powerscourt Estate, Bray Golf Club and Killruddery House and Gardens alone justify the drive out here. Don’t forget about Dublin either! Just 19 miles away, Croke Park, O’Connell Street and Grafton Street are essential stops here.
