Eire 8 - Bray Head | Co. Wicklow | Ireland - DJI Mavic 3 Drone Video 4K HDR

Over 80 Éire signs were dotted around the coast in WW2 to warn bombers they were flying over a neutral country. The whitewashed letters were carved into headlands during the war as navigational message to both Allied and German pilots.Many of the signs are still in plain view, and some have been restored by volunteers in recent years, including one at Malin Head, County Donegal.

Bray Head's Éire sign had been hidden for many years by thick undergrowth.The landmark was revealed again in 2018 when the ground was scorched by a large wildfire.The operation to extinguish the blaze involved members of the Irish Air Corps, who help to operate the Garda helicopter. The aerial sign was spotted at Bray Head, County Wicklow, by the Garda (Irish police) Air Support Unit as they flew over the area after the blaze. Today the sign is once again overgrown and not visible anymore.

Bray Head is a 241 m (791 ft) hill and headland located in northern County Wicklow, Ireland, between the towns of Bray and Greystones. It forms part of the Wicklow Mountains and is a popular spot with hillwalkers. At the top of the head is a concrete cross which was placed there in 1950 during the holy year. Every Good Friday, hundreds of local people climb to the top of the head in a Good Friday procession marking the stations of the Cross as they go along, with the final station being held at the holy year cross.
