The hill
1607th of 2,342 by height.
481 m, with 481 m of drop — 176th 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.
