However, it is on the fringes of the Dublin Mountains and is dwarfed by other nearby hills such as Seefingan and Kippure, both on the Dublin/Wicklow county boundary.

Noteworthy? Hardly..
by exaisle  4 Feb 2011 Just because I can see it from my house, I decided that there was no excuse. That's not to say that I climbed all the way up the hill from the N81....I didn't. The only remarkable thing about Cupidstown Hill is that it's the highest point in Kildare.
When I've nothing better to do, I'll go back....on second thoughts, perhaps paulocon is better alone with that particular distinction.
It's nothing more than a five minute stoll up a tree and litter lined track to a mobile phone mast.
I cannot understand why the local authority will not deter fly-tippers by siting a CCTV camera on the adjacent mast to the entrance to the track. A bit of joined writing here would go a long way and save the expense of regularly clearing rubbish.
Terrific views of Kilteel and points north and west from the trig pillar though. The valley immediately to the east of Kilteel was used in the filming of "The Irish RM".

Update: Actually...there is now a CCTV camera on the nearby mast - not sure how long it's there....I wonder if it will deter the flytippers...

Update #2...during the recent bout of snow, a pal and I had no hiking options other than to make our way to the top of Cupidstown Hill from The Lamb, on the N81. We saw evidence of more joyrider activity where somebody had tried to break through the gate, presumably in a stolen car. I should mention that the road from The Lamb to Kilteel has been restored/repaired and provides the quickest access to the N7 at Kill for anybody travelling from Sally Gap and saves a trip through Blessington and Naas or Saggart/Rathcoole.

Cupidstown delight
by eamonoc  3 Feb 2011 Ran to top of Cupidstown hill from car on Monday 30/1/2011 in 2mins. Not much evidence of recent dumping, new barriers on path beside road and at top near the mast. The day was sunny with cloudless skies, good views over Nth Kildare and beyond, stayed a while to appreciate what this hill had to offer. I would have never dreamed of visiting this hill until I saw it listed in Mountain views, but am glad I did. Cill Dara Abu!

Hidden Treasure
by march-fixer  20 Apr 2012 For such a forlorn entrance there is a little gem to be found at the end, without any effort. A lot of the obvious detritus has been removed, but there is still much hidden a few feet in off the track. As mentioned in previous comments, this is a lonely cousin to the other high-points. There is little evidence of visitors except at the fence near the trig-point.
The views from the field boundary out over the Plains of Kildare on a nice day are just as stunning as on some of the higher peaks. Well worth a visit in my view.
