Kippure

Kippure, Mountain summit in County Wicklow, Ireland.

Kippure is a 757-metre summit on the Dublin–Wicklow county border, the highest point of County Dublin and the 56th-highest peak in Ireland on the Arderin scale. Its massif forms the head of Glencree to the east and Glenasmole to the north, and two corrie lakes, Lough Bray Upper and Lough Bray Lower, lie on its north-east flank. A 127-metre television and radio mast stands on the summit.

A television transmitter was built on the summit in the late 1950s and began broadcasting in December 1961, making this the first television transmission site in Ireland. The transmitter station has remained a landmark on the mountain ever since.

The mountain's name derives from Irish Gaelic 'Cipiúr' and serves as a geographical boundary between County Dublin and County Wicklow.

The summit is reached by a path off the R115, the Military Road, on the route to the Sally Gap. The access road to the transmitter was built in 1959. The mountain is exposed, and the Liffey Head Bog on its slopes is the source of the River Liffey.

Kippure's summit holds a 127-metre television and radio mast, built after the Board of Works laid an access road in 1959 and Pye Ltd began installation. Test transmissions in summer 1961 showed slides of Ireland, a test card and music by Count John McCormack. Telefís Éireann opened from here on 31 December 1961, the first of its five main transmitters.
