Il Glentornan Fold a Bray Head, in Irlanda, Ú un esempio impressionante di deformazione tettonica in rocce sedimentarie. Il Glentornan Fold a Bray Head Ú un luogo affascinante per gli appassionati di geologia, che offre una visione unica della storia geologica della regione e delle forze che hanno plasmato il paesaggio. Le rocce di Bray Head sono costituite da scisti e arenarie del Cambriano-Ordoviciano, formate circa 480-500 milioni di anni fa in un ambiente marino. Questi sedimenti sono stati successivamente sepolti e compressi, trasformandosi in rocce sedimentarie. Cos'Ú la deformazione tettonica? La compressione tettonica ha causato la formazione di una sinclina, una struttura geologica in cui gli strati rocciosi sono piegati verso l'alto. La sinclina di Glentornan Fold Ú particolarmente stretta e drammaticamente contorta, dimostrando l'immenso potere delle forze tettoniche che hanno agito sulla regione. La formazione del Glentornan Fold Ú il risultato di diversi processi geologici, tra cui: - La sedimentazione: la deposizione di sedimenti marini nel l'Era Geostorica denominata Cambriano-Ordoviciano. - La litificazione: la trasformazione dei sedimenti in rocce sedimentarie. - La deformazione tettonica: la compressione e la piegatura delle rocce a causa delle forze tettoniche. - Dimostra l'immenso potere delle forze tettoniche che costruiscono le montagne. - Fornisce informazioni sulla storia geologica della regione e sulla formazione delle rocce. - È un esempio di deformazione tettonica in rocce sedimentarie, utile per gli studi geologici e strutturali.

Bray is a beautiful place! You can see the cross on top of Bray's head from the beach. The Bray walk to Greystones was open when I went and the walk is really worth it. Amazing sites and it's good for all able-bodied people. We had a 10-year-old with us and he managed fine. Fish and chips on Bray Beach were rather expensive and not a lot of other food places to choose from. Stoney Beach but we did manage to find some sand for playing in.

Really lovely spot with incredible view both towards the Dublin City and the Dublin Mountains. Short enough to go with kids, and if they're really small you can take the South-West path that starts around Golf Club which is so easy you can cycle there (few people actually did). There is also a path leading from the Bray Head towards other hills. Whole family did enjoyed this trip a lot.

I highly recommended visiting Bray, Head , Bray , County Wicklow, Ireland. The views from the top of Bray Head are beautiful and breathtaking. If you are visiting Dublin. Be sure to take the DART Train out to Bray. Nice to take a walk along the seafront in Bray and then you can start your walk to the top of Bray Head. Definitely wear a pair of walking or running shoes that are very comfortable. When walking a long the seafront you can find lots of great cafes, restaurants and Ice-cream stores. I personally know Bray from my school days in this beautiful town. We often walked a long the Bray Seafront and often walked to the top of Bray Head. A little side note my school had an annual game called the Bray Head Game played on St.Patricks Day every year. Lots of running up and down Bray Head and competing against Team London which was located at the bottom and Team New York at the top. Pirates would be located trying to steal cargo from each team. Cargo consisted of cards that were either a 2 or 1. New Yorkers and Londoners could also challenge each other. At the very end whom ever had the most points got to share the sweets AKA-Candy. Happy Days from my time at Aravon, School, Bray County Wicklow. Sadly the school has since closed down but the memories live on. As stated in the above a visit to Bray Head is highly recommended. Lastly if you are also looking for a really long walk you can walk from Bray Head to Greystones, County Wicklow. Beautiful cliff walk. Just be mindful of the time if you are taking the DART. There is a DART Station in Greystones also.

Highly...

A hidden gem. It's an easy walk anytime and an accessible day trip from Dublin city. This time I walked the whole length of the prom from the railway station to the cross at the top. I then continued south on to Greystones on the upper path before descending east to the lower path and into the town. I then took the Dart back to Bray. Wicklow county council are remiss not to promote this wonderful resource mercilessly. The views west over the Wicklow mountains, Dublin hills and Bray are spectacular and gives one the desire to...
