BaggedIt › Hill lists
UK & Irish hill classifications explained
Munros, Corbetts, Wainwrights, Hewitts, Marilyns and every other list hill baggers tick off.
Hill bagging is the habit of walking every summit on a list. Britain and Ireland have dozens of lists, each with its own rule about how high a hill must be, how much it has to rise above its surroundings (its prominence), and where it sits. BaggedIt tracks all of the lists below in one place, so a single summit can tick off a Munro, a Marilyn and a county top at once.

Height and prominence, briefly
Height is the summit’s elevation above sea level. Prominence (also called “drop” or “re-ascent”) is how far you would have to descend from the summit before you could climb anything higher. A 3,000 ft shoulder with 20 m of drop is a Munro Top; the same height with enough separation is a Munro in its own right. Most modern lists are defined by prominence because it is objective, where older lists like the Munros and Wainwrights rest on their authors’ judgement.
Where the data comes from
Every hill page here, and the hill database inside the app, is built from the Database of British and Irish Hills (DoBIH), the volunteer-maintained reference the walking community relies on for heights, grid references and list membership. Surveys change the lists from time to time, and the app updates with them.
