Encyclopedia
This is a list of peaks in the British Isles
, with a relative height of 600 m or more, in descending order of relative height.
There are 119 in total: 82 in Scotland
, 24 in Ireland
, seven in Wales
, four in England
and one each in Northern Ireland
and the Isle of Man
. Of these, the top 110 are above 2000 feet (610 m).
For a longer list, see the lists of Marilyns
which include all 2008 hills and mountains in the British Isles with a relative height of at least 150 m.
The relative height is the minimum height of climb to the summit on any route from a higher peak, or from sea level if there is no higher peak on the same landmass. The higher peak is known as a 'parent'. In this table, the prominence parent is used, as opposed to any other definition of 'parent'. The prominence parent of peak A can be found by dividing the island or region in question into territories, by tracing the runoff from the key col of every peak that is more prominent than peak A. The parent is the peak whose territory peak A resides in.
Most of these peaks make it into this list by virtue of the fact that they are the highest point in their local areas. To help readers identify the locations of the peaks, the topographic area of which these peaks are the highest point is listed in the 'Highest point of...' column.
