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 .
