Follow this new dual carriage way and you will go through a series of roundabout. At the last roundabout, turn right and you will enter Greystones village.

06/06/2006, Olivier Deme wrote: Greystones is a pleasant town located on the coast of North County Wicklow, between Bray and Kilcoole.
The coastline of Greystones is made of a large beach, rocky formations and a bay which hosts a small harbour. The bay itself is currently at the centre of polemic caused by a difference of opinion between Wicklow County Council and part of the local population regarding restauration of the harbour and the bay in general. The county council wants to authorized planning for a big marina similar to the one that can be found in Malahide, on the north side of Dublin, but the opponents to this project claims the project to be off the scale for such a small town and have suggested a scaled-down new proposal.
Despite all this, Greystones is a lovely place to visit and much quieter than Bray during summer days.
Its main street is a place of countless fine restaurants, a small shopping center and a very nice pub called the Burnaby.
Greystones' population has increased dramatically during the last few months with new property developments flourishing in several places, including Charlesland and Eden Gate.
