Kippure (Irish: Cipiúr)[2] at 757 metres (2,484 ft), is the 56th-highest peak in Ireland on the Arderin scale,[3] and the 72nd-highest peak on the Vandeleur-Lynam scale.[4][5] Kippure is situated in the far northern sector of the Wicklow Mountains, where it lies on the border of the counties of Dublin and Wicklow in Ireland.[6] Kippure is the County Top for Dublin, and its height and positioning over Dublin city have made its summit an important site for transmission masts, which are highly visible from a distance.[7] Kippure's slopes feed into the Liffey Head Bog which forms the source of the River Liffey.[6][8] The summit can be easily accessed from the east via a path that lies off the R115 (also called the "Military Road") road along the route to the Sally Gap.[8]
