The Welsh P15s

 

The Welsh P15s 

All Welsh hills with 15m minimum prominence 

 

The compilation of The Welsh P15s was completed in May 2019 and introduced via articles published on Mapping Mountains and the UKHillwalking website.

The criterion for The Welsh P15s is all Welsh hills that have 15m minimum drop, irrespective of their height.  With an accompanying sub list taking in all Welsh hills that have 14m or more and below 15m of drop.


When the list was completed there were 5,431 P15 hills with 435 P14 subs.

In May 2021 the Mynydd Twr group of hills were published, with their numerical details then taking in all available LIDAR and their place-name information checked against current and historical Ordnance Survey mapping and the Tithe map.

When the Google Doc list available to download on Mapping Mountains was published in May 2021, it was announced in an introductory article that hills would appear on an ad hoc basis, with the occasional complete group of hills published when the appropriate numerical and place-name details were checked against available sources.

As of January 2025 hills are now appearing in this list on an ad hoc basis, with the Stiperstones group of Welsh P15s planned to be published in their entirety in February 2025.
