Summit Register

Every major hill in Britain and Ireland, measured against the rest

Summit Register profiles 1,140 hills — every Munro and Wainwright and every Marilyn of 600 m or more — with their height, drop, distance to higher ground, nearest neighbours and rank in their country and county.

Or start with Scafell Pike, Snowdon, Carrauntoohil or Ben Nevis.
