Kippure, Mountain summit in County Wicklow, Ireland.
Kippure reaches an elevation of 757 meters and stands as the highest point in Dublin County, offering views across the Wicklow Mountains range.
The television transmitter station at Kippure's summit, constructed in the late 1950s, became Ireland's first television broadcasting site in December 1961.
The mountain's name derives from Irish Gaelic 'Cipiúr' and serves as a geographical boundary between County Dublin and County Wicklow.
Visitors can access the summit via marked trails from the R115 Military Road near Sally Gap, with parking facilities available at designated areas.
Two corrie lakes, Lough Bray Upper and Lough Bray Lower, form natural reservoirs on the northeastern slopes of the mountain.
