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.
