<p align="left"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Bray,
known as the Gateway to the Garden of Ireland, is now the eighth largest
town in Ireland with a population well in excess of 27,000 and is positioned
in north east Wicklow, just south of Dublin. <br>
Tourism has always been associated with Bray, which is the longest established
seaside town in the country. The outbreak of World War 2 put the industry
'on hold' for its duration. However, during the 1950s tourists from
England, Scotland and Northern Ireland returned to Bray in great numbers
to escape the austerity of rationing. <br>
Today, Bray is a vibrant holiday resort and boasts fine hotels and guest
house accommodation, shops, restaurants and evening entertainment. Available
in the immediate locality are fourteen 18-hole golf courses, tennis,
fishing, sailing and horse-riding. <br>
Other features of Bray are the amusement and games centre. There is
also a Leisure centre on Quinsboro road, and a National Sealife Centre
on Strand Road. </font></p>
