[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 ...
[3] [4] Many classifications of mountains in the British Isles consider a prominence between 30–150 metres (98–492 ft) as being a "top", and not a mountain; however, using the 30 metres (98 ft) prominence threshold gives the broadest possible list of mountains. For a ranking of mountains with a higher prominence threshold use:
1 (The tallest mountain in a territory claimed by the UK) Mount Hope: 3,239 metres (10,627 ft) British Antarctic Territory: 2: Mount Jackson: 3,184 metres (10,446 ft) British Antarctic Territory: 3: Mount Stephenson: 2,987 metres (9,800 ft) British Antarctic Territory: 4: Mount Paget: 2,937 metres (9,636 ft) South Georgia and the South Sandwich ...
A Hardy is the highest point of a UK, Manx or Channel Island hill range, a UK island over 1,000 acres (400 hectares) or 4.05 km 2) or a UK top-tier administrative area (counties and unitary authorities). There are now 347 Hardys with the recent addition (up to July 2016) of five low lying English coastal estuary islands: 61 hill ranges, 96 ...

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.
The North of England includes the country's highest mountains, in the Lake District of Cumbria. This was one of the first national parks to be established in the United Kingdom, in 1951. The highest peak is Scafell Pike, 978 m (3,209 ft) above sea level, and at least three other summits exceed 3,000 feet or 914.4 metres making them Furth Munros.
The tallest mountain in the UK (and British Isles) is Ben Nevis, in the Grampian Mountains, Scotland. The longest river is the River Severn which flows from Wales into England. The largest lake by surface area is Lough Neagh in Northern Ireland, though Scotland's Loch Ness has the largest volume.
