Lists of mountains and hills in the British Isles
The mountains and hills of Great Britain, and to a lesser extent Ireland, are the subject of a considerable number of lists that categorise them by height, topographic prominence, or other criteria. They are commonly used as a basis for peak bagging, whereby hillwalkers attempt to reach all the summits on a given list. The oldest and best known of these lists is that of the Munros, mountains in Scotland over ; other well-known lists include the Corbetts, Wainwrights and Marilyns.
There is no worldwide consensus on the definition of "mountain", but in Great Britain and Ireland it is often taken to be any summit at least 2,000 feet (or 610 metres) high.〔(''Survey turns hill into a mountain'' ) at news.bbc.co.uk.

Accessed on 3 Feb 2013.〕〔Wilson, Peter (2001). ''Listing the Irish hills and mountains'' in ''Irish Geography'', Vol 34(1), University of Ulster, Coleraine, p. 89. () (pdf)〕 The UK government defines ''mountain'' as land over 600 metres for the purposes of freedom of access.〔(''Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000'' ), Part 1, Chapter 1, Section 1(2). Accessed on 14 Feb 2013.〕 In addition, some definitions also include a topographical prominence requirement, typically 100 feet (30 m) or 500 feet (152 m).〔 In practice, mountains in Scotland are frequently referred to as "hills" no matter what their height, as reflected in names such as the ''Cuillin Hills'' and the ''Torridon Hills''. In Wales, the distinction is more a term of land use and appearance which has nothing to do with height.
