    Question Hill or a mountain?

    What is the difference between a hill and a mountain?

    Is it altitude?

    Is it appearance?

    Is a hill grassy and a mountain rough?

    Your opinions please

    1000ft is a mountain, which is why there's a tower on Castle Hill in Huddersfield and on Leith Hill in Surrey; to take these nearly mountains to "mountain height".

    You have to get your ML before you can lead parties above 2000ft (or 600m in new speak)

    A fell is different from a hill and a mountain.

    I was also under the impression that 2000' was the qualification height to be a mountain............
