Welcome to my Mountain Website
This is a website for hill walkers and summit-baggers, attempting to provide
accurate Ordnance Survey grid references for the 2000ft mountain tops, and prominent lower
hills, of England and Wales.
There are many recognised lists of hills and mountains in Wales and England - most of the main lists
are covered here, as well as a list of county tops. Click on the appropriate
link on the adjacent map.
The site shares much of its data with the
Database of British and Irish Hills (DoBIH) , and could be considered to be a web-based version of the database. You can view
the survey reports from the DoBIH survey team, and also a log of recent and upcoming
changes to the DoBIH - some of these changes are applied to this website before they are generally
released on DoBIH.
You can use this website to log your own progress against these lists - simply
register a Username and Password (free), and follow the instructions on the registry page.
You will also find a page of hillwalking tips , a photo-gallery , a mountain search
facility, and downloadable files for each mountain area containing
GPS waypoints for the summits.

More announcements to follow. 17th Oct 2011 Beefstand Hill deleted from the Deweys as the summit is in Scotland - it therefore becomes a Donald Dewey (list to be added soon).24th Sep 2011 Survey finds Twr y Fan Foel to be 75cm higher than Fan Brycheiniog trig point , so hill 5603 becomes the Marilyn/Hewitt/Nuttall. Please adjust your logs accordingly. 18th Aug 2011 Survey finds Newtonwood Lane to be higher than Silverhill , so Newtonwood Lane becomes the sole Nottinghamshire county top. 16th Jun 2011 Hill and survey report added for Esgair Gelli , which just fails to reach Dewey status. 14th Jun 2011 A new page added featuring the results of Jeff Parr's research into hill lists of Britain and Ireland - the List of Lists . 21st May 2011 Please keep supplying photos to Des Taylor's Summit Photo website.
