  Gorse Hill is accessed from Bray head. If you made it to the Cross then its twenty minutes walk heading to Greystones (on the top road, not the cliff walk) and the views are even better than from the cross on Bray Head. Gorse Hill is higher and the views more extensive. A full 360% view takes in Wicklow Town, Greystones, the Wicklow mountain's including the Big and Little Sugarloaf, Powercourt estate, the Dublin mountains, Dublin Bay, Dalkey Island, Howth, Ireland's Eye and right up until Balbriggin. Looking onto Greystones and over the bay makes a beautiful view. If your after a good photo then make it your business to put this in your diary. One thing worth mentioning, the land you walk upon is private land and there are cows grazing and there is a warning to look out for the bull (I seen him myself) so remember if you are hurt or injured that the notice is there for all to see. But even with the bull its worth the effort. Enjoy

  To get to Gorse Hill I walk over Bray Head down to the cliff walk and on to Gorse Hill, rest up and return to Bray & home. In rain, wind & sunshine it is always a happy way!

  Great place for a hike. Descent to cliff walk pretty steep
