Welcome to the online version of the
Database of British and Irish Hills (DoBIH)

There are many recognised lists of hills and mountains in Britain and Ireland - all the well-known lists and a good many of the less popular ones are covered here.  Click on the required list name on the adjacent map, or use the mountain search facility.

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.

Please note that inclusion of a hill on this site does not necessarily mean it is accessible.  In particular, some hill summits are on land where there is no public right of way nor open access.

You can view a log of recent and changes to the DoBIH - some of these changes are applied to this website before they are generally released on DoBIH.  Refer to the Database Notes section of the DoBIH website (www.hills-database.co.uk) for version release notes and other changes to the database.

The survey reports from the DoBIH survey team are available here for download.  A number of people have asked if they could contribute to the running of this website or the DoBIH.  I would like to direct such generosity towards the Survey Fund which goes towards purchasing and operating our survey equipment, whose costs are considerable - please use the button below...

What's New - recent changes to this website
6th Mar 2014**New feature** Downloads page added - extract data from the database in various formats. Feedback and suggestions for improvement welcomed. (EWSI)
1st Mar 2014Two hills added to cater for a county top not being at the hill summit. You may want to adjust your logs accordingly...
Burnhope Seat split into hills 2714 (summit) and 8036 (county top).
Withins Height [Round Hill] split into hills 8035 (summit) and 5488 (county top). (E)
19th Feb 2014We are looking for volunteers to help us overhaul the data in the P30 Appendix. Much work has already been done to check summit and col heights and determine col locations. Specifically, all island Tumps plus sections 2A/3A/4/5/8/34/35 have been reviewed but this still leaves some 8000 hills, a task we'd like to complete in 2014.
The task will be desk/computer based. We will give you an Excel file with the data for the hills you wish to review, a Geograph link to the summit, and columns to record the summit height if different, summit grid ref if different, col height if different, and col grid ref. If you are interested please contact me. This might suit someone who would like to research, say, 200 hills as a 'one off' or indeed someone who wants to follow up an interest that might develop in to something more enduring.
We plan to integrate the Tumps within the DoBIH in the next major release. For the rationale please see the rhb message. (EWSI)
