The mountains and hills of England comprise very different kinds of terrain, from a mountain range which reaches almost 1,000 metres (3,300 feet) high, to several smaller areas of lower mountains, foothills and sea cliffs. Most of the major upland areas have been designated as Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) or national parks. The ...
The Database of British and Irish Hills recognises as Bridges the 407 summits in George Bridge's Mountains of England and Wales: Tables of the 2000ft Summits (1973). [ 85 ] [ 119 ] [ 120 ] Bridge used a prominence threshold of 50 feet (15 m), but was hampered by the accuracy of the maps available at the time, and the list was effectively ...
[b] [2] The list is sourced from the Database of British and Irish Hills ("DoBIH") [c] for peaks that meet the consensus height threshold for a mountain, namely 600 metres (1,969 ft); the list also rules out peaks with a prominence below 30 metres (98 ft) and thus, the list is therefore precisely a list of the 2,756 [d] Simms in the British ...

The highest area of England is the North West, which contains England's highest hills and mountains, including its highest – Scafell Pike. In England, a mountain is officially defined as land over 600 metres, so most fall in Northern England. Some hill and mountain chains in England are:
This is a list of P600 mountains in Britain and Ireland by height.A P600 is defined as a mountain with a topographic prominence above 600 m (1,969 ft), regardless of elevation or any other merits (e.g. topographic isolation); this is a similar approach to that of the Marilyn, Simms, HuMP and TuMP British Isle mountain and hill classifications.
This is a list of Marilyn hills and mountains in the United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland and surrounding islands and sea stacks. Marilyns are defined as peaks with a prominence of 150 metres (492 ft) or more, regardless of height or any other merit (e.g. topographic isolation, as used in Munros). [1]
The SMC lists 34 Furths: six in England, 15 in Wales, and 13 on Ireland. [7] These compare with 282 Munros and 226 Munro Tops in Scotland. [8] Thirty three have the 30 metres (98 feet) in prominence to be Murdos. Fifteen have the 150 metres (492 feet) of prominence to be Real Munros: four in England, six in Wales, and five in Ireland.
