Mountains of the British Isles


This section of the Virtual Mountains website is dedicated to the mountains of the British Isles, saddly limited at this time to England, Scotland and Wales, though with good fortune expanding to include Ireland.

In England and Wales, the virtual tours include some of:
The Nuttalls : A list of peaks and tops over 2000ft (610m) with at least 50ft (15m) distinction, first compiled by John and Anne Nuttall, and presented over two volumes in "The Mountains of England and Wales" published by Cicerone.
The Welsh 3000's : Already by definition included in the list of Nuttalls.
The Historic County Tops : Particularly those in the more remote countryside.

In Scotland, the virtual tours include some of:
The Munros : A list of peaks over 3000ft (910m) first compiled by Sir Hugh Munro.
The Historic County Tops : Particularly those in the more remote countryside.
