Introduction

This table lists all of England's mountains over 2000ft. The mountains listed are those that fit the criteria of Hewitts (Hill in England, Wales or Ireland over Two Thousand feet high) i.e. those mountains that have an altitude of 2000ft and a prominence of at least 30m. The methodology used in selecting the summit is thus: any summit surrounded by four or more 10-metre contour lines is automatically included, any summit with only one or two 10-metre contours is excluded, while summits with exactly three 10-metre contours have been studied in more detail, and are included if there is a reasonable doubt about whether they should qualify for inclusion. In practice this means that a few of the summits may have only 25-29 metres of re-ascent, but it seems best to include them in case the Ordnance Survey manage to find an extra metre or two on future editions of the relevant maps!

The tables are interactive; click on the number to be taken to a photo of the mountain, click on the name of the mounatain to go to its SP Mountain/Rock page (if one exists) and click on the grid reference to go to an Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 map of the immediate area. The map number included in each table is for the Ordnance Survey 1:50 000 Landranger Series sheet that the mountain appears on.

County Tops

Frequent local government reorganisation has made things difficult for those who aspire to visit the highest point of all counties in England. There is now a ragbag mixture of unitary authorities, counties and districts. A list of the highest points of those traditional counties still in existence from April 1998 is given below. Unitary authorities (other than the Isle of Wight) are excluded. Tops with a drop of 0 metres are indeterminate points on the side of a hill.
