Proposals sought for Bray Head view point

Architects and engineers are being invited to submit proposals for one of the Wild Atlantic Way’s most iconic signature viewing points on the western tip of Valentia Island in Co Kerry.

“Bray Head, one of 15 signature viewing points along the west coast of Ireland, is a spectacular site, and when finished, will offer a hugely memorable experience. This is a spectacular but sensitive site requiring special treatment and getting the balance right is one of the challenges of the design brief,” said Kerry County Council chief executive Moira Murrell.

Kerry has the longest section of the Wild Atlantic Way and the county council is anxious to maximise the potential benefits of the touring route for local communities. The project is planned by Fáilte Ireland to bring more international visitors from the east to the west coast.
