Night time shooting around Bray/Wicklow area

Hi guys,

Thinking of doing some shots tonight involving the milky way if its not too cloudy. Im currently in Bray so was wondering if anyone had some good suggestions about where to go? Want to involve a small structure - possibly a ruin as the main subject. any ideas?

Bray head. Bit out of the way of light pollution and there's the cross too. Or the cliff walk along the coast to Greystones. Bit more limited there in the directions you can face to see the sky.

Drive the 16 kms to Glendalough and use the Round Tower as a feature. Very little light pollution except a security light at the hostel which you can get around

Thanks guys, was too cloudy for shots of the sky, ended up going to the bridge at Loughlinstown roundabout and a small church ruin near Greystones. Definitely have to do Glendalough next time on a clear night.

The back of the sugarloaf carpark is a good spot for skies but there are not many features.Here is one I took there last week during a difficult shoot, cold, bad weather ect.
