Table Mountain is a peak in the Wicklow Mountains distinguished by its notably flat summit. The mountain forms part of a horseshoe-shaped ridge system and reaches 701 meters in elevation.
The peak served as a known landmark in the region until a tragic accident in 1957. A training aircraft went down during heavy fog conditions on the mountainside, resulting in the pilot's death.
The flat summit shape defines how locals and visitors experience the peak compared to surrounding mountains. The distinctive profile has shaped how people refer to and recognize this spot in the Wicklow range.
Several hiking trails connect this peak to neighboring summits and offer routes for different experience levels. These paths are accessible throughout the year, though weather conditions should always be considered.
The mountain is composed of granite with a mineral makeup that sets it apart geologically from neighboring summits. This rock composition contributes to its distinctive flat profile.
