Great quiz, I would never have thought of ordering the counties by height (You must be a hill walker!) I also would never have guessed that Herefordshire had a peak higher than Kinder Scout - stealing a Welsh mountain maybe?! Also a test of remembering those historic counties for a young person like me.

I love this quiz - this is based on one of my favourite Wikipedia pages (after a conversation one day atop Whernside, the highest hill in the West Riding). Reckon this would be a good list of hills to collect over the course of a lifetime and would spread you round the country a bit more than just walking up the highest hills in England.

It's nice to see from the stats that I'm not the only one who gave up after Cumberland.
