Upper Lough Bray
Upper Lough Bray covers 13 ha with 1.6 km of shore in County Wicklow, 7.4 km north-east of Glencullen.
A public road or path on the map comes within 17 m of the shore, along about 100 m of it. That is what the map contains. It is not a statement that the public may walk there, because OpenStreetMap does not record permission, and nobody has checked this lake against its owner.

Where it is
The pin sits from the main access point on the shore, and every distance on this page is measured from that same point. The other pins are the nearest lakes in County Wicklow.
Parking, viewpoints and stops
Everything here is measured from the main access point on the shore. A viewpoint is a place that looks at the lake, which is not the same as a place on it.
An unnamed car park is 420 m away, and the walk from it to the shore is 450 m along mapped paths. The map records it as free.
None mapped within 2.5 km.
No bus stop or station is mapped within two kilometres.

Where this comes from
- The lake itself
- The outline, the name and the identifiers are OpenStreetMap records, 2 of them merged here into one lake. Correct it there
- What this site measured
- The area and the shore are worked out from that outline. The stretches of shore a way reaches, the walk in from a car park and every distance on this page are worked out here, on this site’s own graph of the OpenStreetMap ways, last built on 2026-09-20. These are this site’s calculations, not the map’s, and a mistake in them is a mistake here.
