Hills of Britain and Ireland

Southeast England Hills

Map List Download GPS (gpx)

There are no mountains in the south east - no hill quite makes 1,000 feet (305m) - but there are many Marilyns (hills with 150m drop, or prominence) and Humps (100m prominence)

This map shows every hill with at least 30m prominence (i.e. with a drop of 30m on all sides), all 800 or so of them!

Even so, some very obvious viewpoints are missed. For example Beachy Head, because its at the lower end of a ridge with Wilmington Hill on, which is higher. Nearby Belle Tout is included, even though its lower, because it does have a 30m drop - see our 7 Sisters (Seaford to Eastbourne) walk. Many of the hills have no club walks going near their summits, so inspiration for new walks?

Notes

  • Data: Database of British and Irish Hills v18.0
  • Relative height, drop, or prominence is the height difference between a hill's summit and the col (lowest point) connecting it to the next higher summit. "Marilyns" are hills with a relative height of 150 metres, and "Humps" have 100 metres. There are some even in the south east of England.
  • We use OS mapping for England, Scotland, Wales, and the Isle of Man. Sadly, Channel Islands, Northern (OSNI) and Southern Ireland (OSI) mapping isn't available online, so we use Openstreetmap.
