A Munro is a hill in Scotland with a height over 3000 feet (914.4 m), that appears in Sir Hugh Munro's Tables of 1891 or in the tables published from time to time by the Scottish Mountaineering Club. Apart from the requirements for location and height, there are no strict criteria for entry in these lists, just a consensus that the peak is significant in some way.

In geography, a fell is a treeless mountain landscape that has been shaped by glacier ice earlier in history. It is the name used in the North of England for a large hill or small mountain, especially in the Lake District, made famous by the Victorian era Poet Laureate William Wordsworth.

A Marilyn is a hill in the British Isles that has at least 150 m of relative height (you cannot get to the top from any other Marilyn without at least 150 m of uphill travel). The name, coined by writer Alan Dawson, is a pun ("Munro" "Marilyn Monroe" — "Marilyn"). This category covers the Marilyns of Scotland.

A Wainwright is a fell in the English Lake District given a chapter by Alfred Wainwright in his Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells.

Birketts are hills (locally known as fells) in the English Lake District National Park, with a summit height over 1000 feet. They are named after Bill Birkett, a well regarded British hill walker and mountaineer.

The Nuttalls are hills in England and Wales over 610 m (2000 feet), which rise above their surroundings on all sides by 15 m. There are 251 Nuttalls in England and 188 in Wales. The list was compiled by John and Anne Nuttall.

Scotland

The Grampians:

The mountains across the centre of Scotland. The Cairngorms form an eastern part of the Grampians. The Grampian Mountains or Grampians are one of the 3 major mountain ranges in Scotland. They extend southwest to north east between the Highland Boundary Fault and Glen Mor (the Great Glen), occupying almost half of the land-area of Scotland. The mountain range includes Ben Nevis, the highest point in the British Isles at 1,343 meters above sea level. Ben Macdui, the second highest mountain at 1,309 meters also lies in the Cairngorm region of the Grampians. The area is minimally populated other than in a few areas such as Aviemore, a winter holiday and snow sporting centre.

The mountains are composed of granite, gneiss, marble, schists and quartzite. Numerous rivers rise in the Grampians such as the Spey, the Don, the Dee, the Esk and the Tay. The name Grampians is believed have first been applied to the mountain range in 1520 by the historian Hector Boece, a transliteration of the Roman Mons Graupius, recorded by Tacitus as a site of the defeat of the native Caledonians by general Gnaeus Julius Agricola circa 83 AD. Prior to this the area was the Mounths, a name held by a number of geographical features. Up until the 19th century, they were generally considered to be more than one range. This view is still held by many today, and they have no single name in Scottish Gaelic language or the Doric dialect of Scots language.

Ben Nevis (or Beinn Nibheis in Gaelic) is the highest mountain in the British Isles. Situated in west Scotland, close to the town of Fort William, in Lochaber, Highland..

The draw of the highest peak in the British Isles attracts over 100,000 ascents a year. A significant number of these visitors have no experience of mountains, and many are caught out each year by the quickly changing weather. Ben Nevis consists of igneous rock dating from the Devonian period of geological history.

The origin of the name Ben Nevis is unclear. The word ben is certainly from beinn, the Gaelic word for "peak", and Ben Nevis is sometimes referred to as 'The Ben'. Possibilities for the meaning of nevis include 'venomous', 'burst' or 'flow' (from neb) and 'brow of keen air' (from neamh meaning 'keeness of air' and bhathais meaning 'brow'). A locally popular suggestion that the name derives from naomh meaning 'heaven' is rejected by etymologists.

Ben Nevis is one of three British mountains climbed as part of the (National) Three Peaks Challenge.

Ben Macdhui (also spelled Ben Macdui, Ben MacDui, or Beinn MacDuibh in the original Gaelic) is the 2nd highest mountain of Great Britain. It lies in the Cairngorm mountains, on the boundary between Aberdeenshire and Moray. It is claimed that Ben Macdui is the home of Am Fear Liath Mòr (the "big grey man of Ben Macdui"). Opinion is divided as to the substance behind this reported phenomenon, which it is claimed resembles a yeti. There is also a Ben Macdhui in South Africa.

The Northwest Highlands, lying to north and west of the Great Glen.

The Highlands consist of an old dissected plateau, or block, of ancient crystalline rocks with incised valleys and lochs carved by the action of mountain streams and by ice, the resulting topography being an area of irregularly distributed mountains whose summits have the same height above sea level, but whose bases depend upon the amount of denudation to which the plateau has been subjected in various places. Culturally the area is quite different from the Scottish Lowlands. Most of the Highlands fall into the region known as the Gàidhealtachd, pronounced roughly Gailtahk, which was, within the last 100 years, a Gaelic speaking area of Scotland. The terms are used interchangeably, but have slightly different meanings. Highland English is also widely spoken. The Scottish Highlands are the mountainous regions of Scotland north and west of the Highland Boundary Fault. It is popularly described as one of the most scenic regions of Europe.

The Southern Uplands form a continuous belt across southern Scotland from Galloway to the Borders. The Uplands are divided into several local ranges. The southern most of Scotland's three major geographic areas. A range of hills and mountains almost 200 km long, stretching from Stranraer in the Irish Sea to East Lothian and the North Sea. Geographically, it also includes the Cheviot Hills on the English-Scottish border. Overall, it is therefore similar in length to the Pennines that form the "backbone of England", and also of similar height, with its highest peaks being below 900 m above sea level.

Some of the notable peaks include:

Merrick (843 m)
Broad Law (840 m)
White Coomb (822 m)
The Cheviot (815 m)
Corserine (814 m)
Cairnsmore of Carsphairn (797 m)
Lamachan Hill (717 m)
Cairnsmore of Fleet (711 m)
Tinto (711 m)

The Cuillin are a range of rocky mountains located on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. These are divided, visually and geologically into two distinct groups, the Red Cuillin and the Black Cuillin. The Red Cuillin are lower and, being less rocky, have fewer scrambles or climbs. Generally they receive less attention than their higher neighbours, and consequently the word Cuillin without a colour prefixed is often taken to mean the Black Cuillin.

The highest point of the Cuillin, and indeed the Isle of Skye, is Sgurr Alasdair in the Black Cuillin. The highest mountian is Sgurr Alasdair.

The Ochil Hills,

A range of hills in Scotland north of the Forth valley bordered by Stirling, Alloa, Kinross and Perth. The only major road crossing the hills follows Glen Devon and Glen Eagles, while the M90 Edinburgh Perth motorway cuts through the eastern foothills. The hills are part of a Devonian lava extrusion whose appearance is largely due to the Ochil Fault which results in the south face of the hills forming an escarpment. The plateau is undulating without a prominent peak, the highest point is Ben Cleuch at 721m The south flowing burns have cut deep ravines including Dollar Glen, Silver Glen and Alva Glen, often only passable with the aid of wooden walkways.

The Pentland Hills is a range of hills to the south west of Edinburgh, Scotland. The range is around 20 miles in length, and runs south west from Edinburgh towards Biggar and the upper Clyde Valley.

Some peaks include:

Scald Law (579 m)
Carnethy Hill (573 m)
West Cairn Hill (562 m)
East Cairn Hill (561 m)
Byrehope Mount (536 m)
Allermuir Hill (493 m)

The hills span a number of council regions: from City of Edinburgh and Midlothian in the north, south-west through West Lothian to Scottish Borders and South Lanarkshire. Pentland Hills Regional Park was designated in 1984, covers an area of 90 km² at the northern end of the hills. The Park, together with the rest of the hills, are used for a variety of recreations including hillwalking, mountain biking, horse riding, and skiing at the artificial ski slope at Hillend.

England

Scafell range

At 978 metres (3,208 feet), Scafell Pike is the highest mountain in England. It is located in the Lake District National Park in Cumbria. Scafell Pike consists of igneous rock dating from the Ordovician period, and is geologically part of the Borrowdale Volcanics.

It is often confused with neighbouring Sca Fell, to which it is connected by the pass of Mickledore. The name Pikes of Sca Fell was originally applied collectively to the peaks now known as Scafell Pike, Ill Crag and Broad Crag, which were considered subsidiary tops of Sca Fell (which looks higher from many angles). The contraction Scafell Pike originated as an error on an Ordnance Survey map, but is now standard. Sca Fell (also spelled Scafell, and traditionally pronounced [sk??fl] (Scawfle) , though the pronunciation is a mountain in the English Lake District. Its height of 963 m (3,162 feet) makes it the 2nd highest mountain in England after Scafell Pike, from which it is separated by the pass of Mickledore.

The Pennines are a mountain range in England. ("backbone of England"), they form an unbroken range stretching from the Peak District in the Midlands, through the Yorkshire Dales and West Pennine Moors of Lancashire and Cumbrian Fells to the Cheviot Hills on the Scottish border. Their total length is about 250 miles (400 km). The mountains are not sizeable (and are often referred to as hills for this reason), the highest Cross Fell in eastern Cumbria, at 893 metres (2930 feet). Other principal peaks include Mickle Fell (788 m/2,585 ft) Whernside (736 m/2,415 ft), Ingleborough (723 m/2,372 ft), Pen-y-ghent (693 m/2,274 ft), and Kinder Scout (636 m/2,087 ft).

The Pennines constitute the main watershed in northern England, dividing the eastern and western parts of the country. The name Pennines is believed to be derived from the Celtic penno, meaning "hill", although the earliest written reference to the name dates only from the 18th century. The diffusion of the name is arguably influenced by the name of the Apennine Mountains of Italy, whose acquaintance many English gentry made on the Grand Tour at the same period and whose name is attributed to the same Celtic linguistic root.

The Cheviot Hills are a range of rolling hills straddling the England/Scotland border between Northumberland and the Scottish Borders. The Cheviot is the highest hill in the range, 815 m. Other tops are Hedgehope Hill, Windy Gyle, Cushat Law and Bloodybush Edge. Of the hills mentioned, only Windy Gyle has its summit on the border. The rest are all within England. The English section is protected within the Northumberland National Park. The Cheviots are also the northernmost range on the Pennine Way. The final leg from Byrness to Kirk Yetholm is the longest, and most exposed, on the whole route. The Way follows the high level Border Ridge (literally the England/Scotland boundary fence) for nearly 30 miles (50 km) after the ascent to the ridge from Byrness. Terrain is boggy and remote, and two mountain refuge huts are situated on the Way for those too tired or weather beaten to continue.

The West Pennine Moors is an area of approximately 90 square miles of moorland and reservoir scenery, located in Lancashire, between the towns of Chorley, Bolton, Horwich, Ramsbottom, Haslingden, Oswaldtwistle and Darwen. Notable architectural features include Rivington Pike, Winter Hill TV Mast, Holcombe Tower and Jubilee Tower on Darwen Moor.

United Utilities through its subsidiary North West Water owns around 40 % of the land for water catchment . The company operates four information centres at Rivington, Jumbles Country Park, Roddlesworth and Haslingden Grane.

The Yorkshire Wolds

Area of low hills and valleys in the East Riding of Yorkshire in North Eastern England. They are formed from chalk, and make an arc from the Humber estuary west of Kingston upon Hull up to the North Sea coast between Bridlington and Scarborough. Here they rise to form cliffs, notably at Flamborough, Bempton Cliffs and Filey; Flamborough Headland is designated a Heritage Coast. On the other side of the Humber, chalk formations continue as the Lincolnshire Wolds

On the western edge the Wolds rise to an escarpment which drops sharply to the Vale of York. The highest point Bishop Wilton Wold (also known as Garrowby Hill), which is 246 m above sea level. To the north, on the other side of the Vale of Pickering lie the North York Moors, and to the east the hills flatten into the plain of Holderness. The largest town in the Wolds is Driffield, with other places including Pocklington and Thixendale.

The Yorkshire Dales lie in an area of high ground in North and West Yorkshire, England.

Although many valleys all over Yorkshire are called "(name of river)+dale", such as Airedale or Calderdale, the Yorkshire Dales are usually deemed to be those valleys north of the Wharfe. Exceptions to the naming rule are Wensleydale, which is named after the town of Wensley rather than the River Ure, and Arkengarthdale, which was formed by Arkle Beck.
James Herriot's veterinary books are set in the Dales, as is the TV soap opera Emmerdale. However, to the north of the Dent fault, the hills are principally older Silurian and Ordovician rocks, which make up the Howgill Fells.

The Misk hills consist of gently undulating sandstone plateaus between Hucknall and Annesley in the nation of Nottinghamshire in the North East Midlands of England. They offer views South across Hucknall, and Nottingham. They are locally considered to be the first hills in the Pennine Chain, and rise to a high point of 170 metres above sea level from the flat plains to the east. The hills area a source of 3 minor watercourses, the Day Brook, the Why Burn and Farleys Brook. The view over Hucknall from the easternmost height in the range, Diadem Hill, provided the setting for 'The Dream,' a poem by Lord Byron, the Romantic English Poet who lived locally in Newstead Abbey. The Misk Hills were also mentioned by local author DH Lawrence, in his autobiographical novel, Sons and Lovers, and Nottingham-born writer Alan Sillitoe wrote a poem entitled 'The View from Misk Hill.' The etymology of the name Misk is unknown. Speculations are that the name relates to an Old English word for the moon, Micca. A range of sand hills in Stevenston, Ayrshire, Scotland, also share the name of Misk.

The Malvern Hills are a range of hills in the English counties of Worcestershire and Herefordshire. It has been designated by the Countryside Agency as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The Malvern Hills are a famous beauty spot, with scenic views over both Herefordshire and Worcestershire. The Hills run north / south for about 13 km and overlook the River Severn valley to the East, with the Cotswolds beyond. The highest point is End Hill 1,079 ft 329 m, Table Hill 1,224 ft 373 m,
North Hill 1,303 ft 397 m, Sugarloaf Hill 1,207 ft 368 m. Traditionally the line down the spine of the hills has formed a county boundary between Herefordshire and Worcestershire. English composer Edward Elgar, who was from the area, often walked, cycled, and reportedly flew kites on these hills. He wrote a cantata in 1898 entitled Caractacus, which employs the popular legend of his last stand at British Camp.

The Purbeck Hills and South Dorset Downs are a ridge of chalk downs in Dorset, England. The hills extend from the Dorset Downs west of Dorchester, where the River Frome begins to form a valley dividing them from the larger area of downland to the north.

Wales

Snowdonia (Welsh: Eryri) is a region of North Wales and a National Park, 838 square miles (2170 square kilometres). It was the first to be designated of the 3 National Parks in Wales, in 1951. Today the word Snowdonia is largely synonymous with the Snowdonia National Park, although prior to designation of the boundaries of the National Park, the term "Snowdonia" was used to refer to a smaller area, the more mountainous and northern areas closer to Snowdon.

The English name for the area derives from Snowdon, which is the highest mountain in Wales at 1085 metres (3560 feet). In Welsh, the area is named Eryri (from eryr meaning "eagle"). The area is renowned for its spectacular mountainous scenery and is popular with tourists.
Snowdon is the highest mountain in Wales, and the highest British mountain south of the Scottish Highlands. Its summit is known as Yr Wyddfa (meaning "the tumulus". The English name Snowdon comes from Saxon "Snow Dun", meaning "snow hill".

It is located in the Snowdonia National Park (Welsh: Parc Cenedlaethol Eryri). The park is popular with tourists, especially for hiking, and Snowdon is one of the greatest attractions. Snowdon has six ridges : these are steep and rocky to the north and east, shallower and grassy, but more remote to the south and west. The Glyderau (a Welsh plural form, equivalent to the English Glyders) are a mountain group in Snowdonia, North Wales.

Their name derives from the names of the highest peaks in the range. They stretch from Mynydd Llandegai to Capel Curig, and include five of Wales's fourteen or so mountains over 3000-feet high (the "Fourteen Peaks"), and are very popular with walkers and climbers.

Dinorwig power station, a hydroelectric pump-storage power station is built in a cavern within Elidir Fawr. The slopes of the Glyderau also include the lake Llyn Idwal, and a number of 'classic' climbing areas such as Idwal Slabs.

The Brecon Beacons (Welsh: Bannau Brycheiniog): A mountain range located in the south east of Wales. They form the nucleus of the Brecon Beacons National Park (Parc Cenedlaethol Bannau Brycheiniog), one of Wales's three National Parks. The Brecon Beacons range, properly speaking, consists of the mountains to the south of Brecon. The highest of these is Pen y Fan (886 m); other notable summits include Corn Du (873 m), Cribyn (795 m), and Fan y Bîg (719 m). These summits form a long ridge which forms a horseshoe around the head of the Taf Fechan river to the south-east, with long parallel spurs extending to the north-east. The round of the Taf Fechan skyline forms a popular ridge walk known as the 'Beacons Horseshoe'. The Brecon Beacons are named after ancient practices of lighting signal fires (beacons) on the mountains to warn of attacks by the English.

Black Mountains (Welsh: Y Mynyddoedd Duon: A group of hills in south eastern Wales, and a small part of Herefordshire, England. They are the easternmost of the 3 groups of hills that are covered by the Brecon Beacons National Park, and are frequently confused with the westernmost, which are collectively called the Black Mountain. (To confuse matters further, there is a peak in the Black Mountains called Black Mountain.) They may be roughly defined as those hills north of Abergavenny, south of Hay-on-Wye, east of the A479 road (the Rhiangoll valley) and west of, or on, the English border. The Offa's Dyke long-distance footpath runs along the border. The area is popular with hillwalkers and pony trekkers. There are few villages in this area and one youth hostel, at Capel-y-ffin. The Skirrid Inn also has a wider reputation, being claimed as the oldest Public House in Wales.

Sugar Loaf Mountain is very popular with walkers. A vineyard, producing Sugar Loaf wines, is situated at Dunmar Farm at the foot of the mountain. Black Mountain is a mountain in the Black Mountains (not to be confused with the Black Mountain range of hills). It is the only Marilyn to fall exactly on the Welsh-English border, straddling Powys and Herefordshire.

Offa's Dyke long distance footpath passes along the ridge, more or less from south to north (or vice versa), while a steeper path leads to the summit from near the youth hostel in the Vale of Ewyas to the west.

The Preseli Hills or Preseli Mountains (Welsh: Mynydd Preseli / Y Preselau) are a range of hills in north Pembrokeshire, Wales. They form part of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.

The hills rise to 536 metres at Foel Cwmcerwyn and are dotted with prehistoric remains. Stone from the hills at Carn Menyn, sometimes Carn Meini, was used to build Stonehenge.

The Clwydian Range is a series of hills in North Wales running from Llandegla in the South to Prestatyn in the North, with the highest point being the popular Moel Famau. Moel Famau is a hill and country park in Denbighshire, Wales (though its peak is shared with Flintshire, since the border between the two counties runs through it). The park is an important part of the Clwydian Range Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The heather provides food and shelter for wildlife, such as Red Grouse, European Stonechat and Eurasian Curlew.

Ireland North and South

Located in County Down in the south east of Northern Ireland, the granite Mountains of Mourne (or Mourne Mountains; or Na Beanna Boirche in Irish) are among the best known of the mountains on the island of Ireland. The surrounding area is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is proposed as the first National Park in Northern Ireland. The Mourne Mountains are partly owned by the National Trust and see a large number of visitors every year; their highest mountain is Slieve Donard at 850 m (2786 ft). The Mourne Wall is among the more famous features in the Mournes. It is a 35 km (22 mile) dry-stone wall that crosses 15 summits, constructed to define the boundaries of the 36 km² (9000 acre) area of land purchased by the Belfast Water Commissioners in the late 1800s. This followed a number of Acts of Parliament allowing the sale, and the establishment of a water supply from the Mournes to the growing industrial city of Belfast. Construction of the Mourne Wall was started in 1904 and was completed in 1922. Slieve Donnard standing at 2,796 Ft is the highest mountain in the Mournes range and also the highest mountain in Northern Ireland. It offers spectacular views from the summit towards England Scotland and Ireland yet the ascent to the top from the coastal town of Newcastle is on average only a 2 hour ramble.

The Caha Mountains (An Ceachach in Irish) are a range of low sandstone mountains situated on the Beara peninsula in south-west County Cork, in the Republic of Ireland.

Wicklow Mountains are a range of mountains in the south-east of Ireland. They run in a north-south direction from immediately south of Dublin across County Wicklow and into County Wexford. None of the Irish mountains are particularly high: in this range Lugnaquilla is the highest peak at 926 m (3039 ft). Mullaghcleevaun at 847 m is the second highest. The River Slaney has its source south-west of Lugnaquilla and then flows south along the western slopes of the mountains for some 45 miles before entering the St George's Channel at Wexford. The Turlough Hill power station is the only pumped storage hydroelectricity scheme in Ireland: it is located on the Wicklow Gap midway between Hollywood and Glendalough.

Bray Head (Irish: Ceann Bré) is a hill (241 m/790 ft) in North County Wicklow, Ireland, between the towns of Bray and Greystones. It forms part of the Wicklow Mountains. It is a popular spot with hill-walkers. The Dublin-Wicklow railway line runs outside Bray Head along the coast, sometimes travelling within feet of the cliffs. This line, designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, is referred to as "Brunel's Folly", due to the ongoing maintenance costs associated with maintaining a cliff-face line. The line has had to be deviated on four occasions.

The Slieve Bloom Mountains rise from the central plain of Ireland to a height of about 560 metres. Called the Sliabh Bladhma in Irish, these mountains, while not overly high, are very extensive. The highest points are Arderin (529 meters)at the southwestern end of the range and Baunreaghcong (511 meters) at the end of the Ridge of Capard.

McGillycuddy's Reeks (Na Cruacha Dubha, meaning "The Black Tops") are a mountain range in County Kerry, Ireland. Stretching over 19 km (12 miles), they include the highest mountain in Ireland (Carrantuohill, at 1,039 m), the two other 1,000 m peaks existing in Ireland (Beenkeragh at 1,010 m, and Caher at 1,001 m), and over 100 other Hewitts (peaks of over 2,000 ft). The mountains, part of the Armorican Highlands, are of glacial-carved sandstone and are situated on the Iveragh peninsula near the Lakes of Killarney. Carrauntoohill (Irish: Corrán Tuathail), also spelt Carrantuohill and in various other ways, is a mountain located in County Kerry, and the highest peak in Ireland. It is 1,041 m tall and is the central peak of the Macgillicuddy's Reeks range. The name derives from the Irish language corrán tuathail – the "left-handed sickle" – a reference to the shape of the mountain range. There are two other peaks in this range above 1,000 m (Beenkeragh, 1,010 m; and Caher, 1,001 m) and four others on the island over 3,000 feet, in the Dingle Peninsula (Mount Brandon), south Tipperary (Galtee Mor) and County Wicklow.
