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 - some of the main lists are covered by this website, as well as a list of county tops.  Click on the appropriate link on the adjacent map.

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
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).
16th Jan 2009Four "deleted" Nuttalls added, from 2nd editions of Nuttalls books - Gwaun Cerrig Llwydion, Pumlumon Cwmbiga, Napes Needle and Pen (thanks to Steven Clark for bringing them to my attention).
5th Jan 2009Summit description (where known) added to mountain details pages, next to the map below Grid Ref (thanks to Des Taylor for the idea).
2nd Jan 2009Mountain Search and list pages now have option to view the list without the map.  The input form for adding your own log now appears below the list instead of being superimposed on the map.  These changes should speed up the logging process.
N.B. If you are having difficulties retrieving map/list details, please try clearing down your browser cache.
11th Dec 2008Website restyled to give it a more contempory feel, and to make more efficient use of stylesheets (CSS) - Your comments on the new style (good or bad) would be most welcome.
N.B. If you are having difficulties retrieving map details on the newly styled pages, please try clearing down your browser cache.
5th Nov 2008Mountain Search and list pages now have options to limit search results to climbed hills only, or unclimbed hills only (thanks once again to Des Taylor for the idea).
20th Oct 2008Huntingdonshire historic county top relocated - I have been told by 2 independent sources that the remains of a railway embankment a few hundred metres from the spot I had previously are higher. Apologies to anyone who has already bagged the former spot
9th Oct 2008[Map] links added to the My Progress page - these provide a map of your progress for an entire hill list (though please note that some maps may be slow to load).
Thanks to Daniel Quinn for the idea.
22nd Sep 2008My Progress page now shows your ascent totals broken down by year, and by month (thanks to John White for the idea).
League Tables now have their own separate page.
19th Sep 2008As a result of accurate survey by J Barnard, M Phillips and G Jackson, Mynydd Graig Goch has been confirmed as a 2000 footer (609.75m) promoting it to the Nuttalls and Hewitts lists, (promoted from Dewey/sub-Hewitt).  Nuttalls total is now 443 (confirmed on Nuttalls web site), total Welsh Hewitts now 138.  Mynydd Graig Goch is at the Western end of the Nantlle Ridge in the Moel Hebog area.
31st Jul 2008Facility to add your own markers to a map now added to Google Maps versions of list and search pages.
Google Earth view also added to Google Maps powered pages (you may need to download a free browser plug-in from Google).
22nd Jul 2008New facility to add your own markers to a map, save them for future use, and copy them to file for upload to your GPS.  Look for the pale yellow bar below the map on the mountain list pages (you must be a registered member of the site, and be logged in, to use this facility).
