Saunterings is a set of reflections based upon walks around the counties of
Cumbria, Lancashire and
North Yorkshire in North-West England (as defined in the
Preamble).
In Sauntering 124 I listed all 854
hills in North-West England with a prominence of at least 30 metres,
extracted from the
Database of British and Irish Hills.
The 'prominence' of a hill is equal to its 'drop', that is, the minimum vertical height
you have to lose when walking from its top to any higher hill. The most
prominent hills provide a more interestingly varied set of hills than the
highest ones (which are nearly all in the Lake District).
Below is a list of North-West England's 200 most prominent hills plus the next 100
most prominent hills over 400 metres in height.
I've squashed it to the left so that
it's readable on mobile phones.
The right-hand column indicates an ascent (or as near to the top as is possible or necessary)
or walk around the hill,
the number being a link to a Sauntering up it and a + indicating a
pre-Sauntering visit.
