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.

Llechwedd Melyn promoted to full HuMP status.
5th May 2012Mountain detail pages no longer show the OS map by default - you have to click the "Show map" link on the page. This is to try to reduce the map usage to stay within the OS daily limit, but do feel free to show the map if you need to see it.

4th Mar 2012Changes to hill ascent logging facilities:
The "add/amend log" links from the search, maps and mountain details pages will now redirect you to the new My Logs page;
You can now log more than one ascent for a hill (hooray!)
GPS data entries can now be maintained separately from ascent logs.
17th Feb 2012Facility to search on OS map sheet number added to the Mountain Search page - use "Search for" and select "Hills on OS Landranger" or "Hills on OS Explorer", and enter the sheet number in the search box. Make sure you also have the appropriate country boxes ticked.
13th Feb 2012Data aligned with version 12.1 of the Database of British and Irish Hills (DoBIH). For further details, see the revision history.

Highgate replaces Hampstead Lane as the Harringay LB top.
Newcombe Drive (Greenheys) replaces Greenheys as the Salford UA top.
Green Walk (Bowdon) has a relocation and rename (was The Devisdale) for the Trafford UA top.
Knowsley Park has a relocation and becomes the sole Knowsley UA top (was previously shared with Hag Brow).
Apologies if these changes mean you have to re-adjust your logs or make revisits.
11th Feb 2012Two new subHuMPS added, Pengarn and Doddiscombsleigh Hill.
11th Feb 2012Liddington Hill replaces Liddington Castle as the HuMP and Swindon UA top - Liddington Castle now not reckoned to be located at the natural top of the hill. Apologies if this change means you have to re-adjust your logs or make a revisit.
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.
