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.

Please contact me with your comments or suggestions about this website, or sign my Guestbook.

What's New - recent changes to this website
1st Jan 2012Lillypot replaces Tair Onnen as Vale of Glamorgan county top.
High Billinge replaces Hangingstone Hill - Pale Heights as HuMP.
8th Dec 2011Changes resulting from the addition of hundreds of new hills in DoBIH v12...
All the subHuMPs and subDeweys have now been added, along with all 490-499m hills with more than 20m drop.
Change in definition of subHewitts.
See DoBIH revision history.
30th Nov 2011Data aligned with version 12 of the Database of British and Irish Hills (DoBIH).
If you would like to contribute towards the maintenance of the database, in particular towards the expense of purchasing and operating the survey equipment, please use the "Donate" button via the link above.
25th Oct 2011New lists are being added to the site which will also appear in v12 of the Database of British Hills. You may spot some new hill list abbreviations, along with a large number of new hills when you search for "all hills" within an area. More announcements to follow.
17th Oct 2011Beefstand Hill deleted from the Deweys as the summit is in Scotland - it therefore becomes a Donald Dewey (list to be added soon).
24th Sep 2011Survey 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 2011Survey finds Newtonwood Lane to be higher than Silverhill, so Newtonwood Lane becomes the sole Nottinghamshire county top.
16th Jun 2011Hill and survey report added for Esgair Gelli, which just fails to reach Dewey status.
14th Jun 2011A new page added featuring the results of Jeff Parr's research into hill lists of Britain and Ireland - the List of Lists.
21st May 2011Please keep supplying photos to Des Taylor's Summit Photo website. He has added a map feature to show the hills still lacking a summit photo - can you help to fill in the gaps? The map links are at the bottom of his home page.
25th Apr 2011Data aligned with version 11.6 of the Database of British Hills (DoBH).
18th Apr 2011Kirkby Fell added to the Dewey list following investigation by the survey team.

21st Feb 2011Two new double sub-Hewitts added to the database, Black Hill and Brownber Head.
19th Feb 2011League Tables page now has options to select tables based on combinations of country, height and drop.  Hills you have climbed are now highlighted in red.

Jericho Hill has been replaced in the HuMPs list by the nearby Domen-gastell Hill.
10th Feb 2011The aforementioned location change for Chinley Churn has now resulted in a decision to designate a new hill entry (number 5628) - could anyone who has logged an ascent please review their logs to make sure they have logged the appropriate summit (or both if they have visited both the old and new location).
2nd Feb 2011A big thanks to those who have contributed photos to Des Taylor's Summit Photo website. There are just under 1300 individual hill summit images so far, but more contributions would be most welcome
