County Tops

This is a list of the highest points in each of England's gegraphic counties. In some cases the highest point of a county may not be the highest point of the hill, it may be that the county's border line crosses just part of the hill. The heights stated therefore are the highest point in the county, but they may not be the highest point of that particular hill. The figures below are the Ordnance Survey spot heights and rounded up to the nearest feet. If you spot any mistakes or out of date figures due to re-surveying let me know. The ticks indicate which ones I have bagged.
