Highest Mountains in England

Whilst all of the UK's 50 highest mountains are to be found in Scotland there are still a considerable number of peaks which reach over 2,000 feet (610 metres).

As you may notice most of these mountains are located in the North of England. In fact most of the tallest are concentrated into the small area of Cumbria which makes up the Lake District and Northern Pennines. Several other of England's highest peaks lie along the border with Scotland, among the Cheviot Hills.

Beyond the north sizeable hills are relatively sparse throughout England and it is not until the Southwest that there are any really significant peaks. Virtually all of these can be found on Dartmoor in Devon with a few notable hills in Exmoor on the Somerset border.

Please note: the list below is ordered by the relative height, or prominence of the peaks. This is a different measure to the overall height of the mountain and shows how far the particular summit rises from the surrounding landscape. It is possible to reorder the table by clicking on the top of the column you whish to sort by.
