The four regions

Four mountain regions hold everything on the British side of this site. The high points run from Kinder Scout at 636m to Ben Nevis at 1,345m, and a day out in one is not a day out in the other.

The Alps are a separate section. Its pages list no accommodation and no booking links, because every merchant joined to this site is UK-only.
