Lugnaquilla, Mountain summit in County Wicklow, Ireland

The peak of Lugnaquilla rises to 925 meters above sea level, making it the highest point in County Wicklow and the province of Leinster.

The summit plateau received its name Percy's Table from an eighteenth-century local landowner, while the mountain's original name meant hollow of the grouse cocks.

The mountain attracts numerous hikers throughout the year, with three main starting points offering different perspectives of the Wicklow Mountains landscape.

The Glen of Imaal Route extends 13 kilometers from Fenton's Pub along a military access road, requiring visitors to verify artillery range operating times.

Lugnaquilla features two steep glacial corries named North Prison and South Prison, along with the cliff-lined hanging valley of Fraughan Rock Glen.
