Apparently named after William, son of George IV, after a royal visit in 1821. This begs the question: What was it called before that? There must have been a native Irish name. Unfortunately Price provides no answer to this in PNCW. On the map o   Prince William's Seat is the 355th highest summit in Ireland.

MountainViews.ie Picture about mountain Prince William
 
by csd  11 May 2003 Access up to Prince William's Seat from the Wicklow Way to the south is a pleasant afternoon's stroll. The graded forest track gives way to a path, which picks its way through the trees to the open ground above Raven's Rock. To gain the summit, take the narrow track to the left just after the recently widened forestry track. The photo shows Raven's Rock and the eastern shoulders of Prince William's Seat.

Prince William Seat a grand place to be of a warm summers eve
by YoungJohn  3 Jun 2010 Set off yesterday from Dublin City for a hike in the Wicklow Mountains with three friends who were hill walking for the first time. We parked at the entrance to the Wicklow Way on the road out of Enniskerry heading for Glencree of a glorious summer evening. We set forth with intent of taking in some views and were at the foot of the Ravens Rock when one member of the party veered right preferring to let the remainder of the party head uphill. We ventured along the wicklow way taking in the beautiful views on offer of Dublin Bay, Bray and Greystones and admiring Great Sugar Loaf. We came across a rough track to the left just as the wicklow way seemed to go down hill. This track led us to a Cairn on the summit of Prince Williams Seat. I beleieve that this granite topped mountain has enticed two more souls into the hillwalking fraternity! The views of Kippure and the Dublin and Wicklow mountains were enthralling, Sugarloaf majestic. We headed back across the mountain top via a different track which led us back to the granite flagstones part of the wicklow way. We met up with the very relaxed and unlathered fourth member of our walking party who was sitting in the car with the aircon on! A lovely walk taking in two fine counties!

Picture: Prince William's Seat
by josvanderlinden  10 Nov 2008 Sunday 9 November. Started from the parking lot near Curtlestown on what became a short hike due to strong winds and heavy rain. The view from Prince William's seat over Dublin city is really great. And the ascent of 300 meter not that hard. It's a nice hour-and-a-half walk.

by sinbadw  13 Sep 2004 A pleasant walk on a blustery Sunday. We left the car near the bridge at the bottom of the road down from Glencullen on the wicklow way, followed the waymarks until the tree-line and then set off along a sort of a path (some bike tracks chuning up the peat, tut-tut) up to the top where we had some buns beside the Triangulation point while the wind tried it's level best to dislodge us. We went on from there to Knocknagun.
