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 Hills, and could be considered to be a web-based version of the database.

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
2nd Jan 2010Summit Feature field added to hill logging form - if you enter a grid reference and a description of the summit feature you recorded, these can be used to improve the accuracy of the Database (DoBH).
31st Dec 2009Triangle colours brighter and magenta replaced with blue, to improve contrast for colour-blind users (you may need to clear your browser cache to see the changes).
20th Nov 2009Multiple updates to align the data with version 11.2 of the Database of British Hills (DoBH).
24th Sep 2009New page of downloadable hill survey reports, provided by the Database of British Hills survey team (John Barnard, Graham Jackson, Myrddyn Phillips).
25th Aug 2009New list of hills, the Trail 100, added to the website.  This is a list of 100 popular hills in England, Wales, Scotland, and one in Northern Ireland.  There are 3 hills which do not appear on any other list
5th Aug 2009Major changes to align the data with the Database of British Hills (DoBH)...
Grid references and summit descriptions taken from DoBH where available (indicated by (h) after grid ref), though my own estimated grid references have been retained otherwise;
Abbreviations for hill lists changed to match DoBH (see Glossary page), column renamed from Type to Class;
DoBH hill numbers shown on list and mountain detail pages (GPSID no longer shown, but can be derived as EW followed by hill number);
Drop (prominence), col grid ref, OS map sheet numbers and additional comments and observations added to mountain detail pages;
Ability to search on Drop (prominence) added to Mountain Search page.
13th May 2009Grid reference for Westerham Heights (Greater London top) has been corrected (it was incorrectly set to the same grid ref as the Kent county top).
4th May 2009Reference numbers for the hills (you may have noticed the "rf=" parameter in the webpage address for the mountain details pages) have been changed to match hill numbers in The Database of British Hills.
I have joined the editorial team for the Database of British Hills, and will be making further changes to the Hill-Bagging database over the coming weeks so the two databases are consistent.
25th Apr 2009The Birkett top for Nab Scar appears to be the same as the Wainwright after all, so the separate top has been removed.  Birkett mentions a prominent cairn which is a feature of the Wainwright top.  I have attempted to update the logs you have entered, but you may wiah to check.  Apologies for any inconvenience.
18th Apr 2009Raw Head demoted to sub-Marilyn, but Mynydd y Cwm promoted to full Marilyn status, following detailed surveys of their cols by G Jackson and J Barnard.
2nd Apr 2009Tops for two new Unitary Authorities added - Cheshire West and Chester and Bedford Borough.
Cheshire is now Cheshire East UA, and Bedfordshire is now Central Bedfordshire UA.
24th Feb 2009"Twin-Top" status (indicated by = sign) now only used for "official" twin-tops - the following tops have been recategorised as "Other" as they are just alternative tops (of equal height) for a hill already on a list.  I would recommend you visit these tops along with the main top in case future surveys reveal them to be higher...
Twr y Fan Foel, Wild Boar Fell East Top, Aberedw Hill, Rhiw Gwraidd, Seager Hill, Bryn Brith.
Surveys have already revealed these two are not twin-tops...
Gwastedyn Hill, Pen y Bedw (W top).
23rd Feb 2009Six Birkett tops moved to different locations, as the book appears to identify different features to the Wainwright or Marilyn.  Please note you may have to update your logs accordingly (apologies)...
Armboth Fell, Graystones, Wansfell, Nab Scar, Top o'Selside and Great Yarlside.
23rd Feb 2009Wainwright top for High Stile moved to the West Top.  Please note you may have to update your logs accordingly (apologies).
