The hill
2077th of 2,342 by height.
281 m, with 192 m of drop — 1036th most prominent of the 2,342 hills on a list here. It rises further above its surroundings than its height alone suggests — a hill that stands on its own rather than a high point on a longer ridge. Classed as Marilyn, HuMP, historic county top, current county top and administrative county top.
