Mile High Peaks and Mountains in the UK

Q. Hello!

I was curious if you had a list of the 'Mile High' peaks in England. I'll be staying near the Peak District in July.

Thanks

Joanne Roberts, Washington USA



A. There aren't any peaks in the British Isles (England, Scotland, Ireland or Wales) that are a mile high (i.e. with summits 5,280ft above sea level).

The UK's highest peak is Ben Nevis in Scotland which reaches 4409ft.

Walks:

 

Snowdon is the highest peak in Wales at 3558ft.

Walks:

 

The England's Highest peak is Scafell Pike in the Lake District which climbs to 3208ft.

Walks:

 

The highest point in the Peak District is Bleaklow Head at a lowly 2076ft.

Walks:

 

Indeed, the Peak District only has three summits that can be described as mountains (i.e. over 2000ft). The other two being Kinder Scout at 2086ft.

Walks:

and Higher Shelf Stones at 2037ft.

Walks:

Whilst the countryside in the Peak District cannot be described as 'mountainous' it is nevertheless very, very beautiful.

We are publishing lists of all 'Mountains' in the British Isles along with downloadable Peak Bagging pdf's on which you can record which ones you've scaled.

Hope this helps
