Encyclopedia : L : LI : LIS : List of peaks in the Yorkshire Dales
This is a list of the peaks in the Yorkshire Dales, according to different classifications.
Marilyns
A Marilyn is a hill with a relative height of at least 150 metres, regardless of absolute height or other merit. The name is a pun ("Munro" — "Marilyn Monroe" — "Marilyn"). There are currently 1,554 Marilyns identified in Great Britain: 180 of these are in England, of which 22 are in the Yorkshire Dales. Due to the height separation of many of the Yorkshire Dales' peaks from each other, there are many more Marilyns in this area than in surrounding parts of the Pennines, where summits are connected by high saddles.
