This is a list of the peaks in the Yorkshire Dales. To avoid the list becoming infinitely long and arbitrary, only hills with more than 30 m relative height are included. This includes all Marilyns and Hewitts as well as many other hills. Marilyns are peaks in the British Isles with 150 metres (490 ft) of relative height;[1]Hewitts are peaks in England, Ireland and Wales over 610 metres (2,000 ft) elevation, with at least 30 metres (98 ft) relative height. There are 22 Marilyns and 28 Hewitts in the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
Hills are grouped as topographically as possible, according to their 'parent Marilyn'. The parent Marilyn of hill A can be found by dividing the nearby area into territories, by tracing the runoff from the key col of each Marilyn. The parent is the Marilyn whose territory hill A resides in. Marilyns are given in bold, followed by the hills within their territories, which are delineated in the map.
In the table headers, H stands for height and RH for relative height.
