Fife is not exactly hill country. However, it does have a number of fine smaller hills which make excellent viewpoints of the surrounding low lying countryside.
Only nine of the Fife hills are higher than 300m, with a further 32 listed as being between 200m and 300m. Perhaps of more interest given the flatness of the Fife countryside is a hill’s prominence i.e. the minimum drop between it and neighbouring hills. In this respect Fife boasts seven Marilyns (hills with 150m prominence), seven further Humps (hills with 100m prominence, and a further 98 Tumps (hills with 30m prominence).
The list here here includes all hills over 200m that are listed on the Database of British and Irish Hills along with selected lower hills. Whilst many of the hills make for good walks for most walkers, some of the lesser known ones are likely to appeal primarily to the hill bagger / enthusiast.
The www.hill-bagging.co.uk/ site is recommended for keeping tabs on your hill progress along with hints and tips for accessing the hills.
