Irish Highest Hundred

The 100 highest summits in Ireland with at least 100m prominence
The Irish Highest Hundred list has been derived entirely from, and matches the higher 12% portion of, the Irish Humps. To initially qualify as a Hump, a summit must have a prominence of at least 100 metres. This page focuses on the 100 highest Humps / summits in Ireland as originally listed by Jim Bloomer and the late E.D. ‘Clem’ Clements.

Unfortunately we cannot promote or recommend the Irish Highest Hundred as a hillwalking challenge because it is a 100% derived list which does not contribute in any way to other hillwalking initiatives outside the traditional peakbagging format. If you are looking for an All-Ireland challenge which is based on the first Irish summit list to venture beyond the traditional, we highly recommend the Slievemores. This list was originally created to help identify local range-specific day challenges, but has since become an interesting year-long All-Ireland challenge in itself. The provincial sub-lists are also worth checking out, as are the Ireland's 100 Highest Mountains and Ireland's 100 Most Prominent Summits.

Mountain and hill summits offer great walking opportunities all year round, however we particularly recommend visiting them during months when the days are longest. For this reason, we promote upland walking as our monthly theme for June.

Support us (at no cost)

Our website is a 100% free resource for all to view without having to pay any subscription fees or being asked for donations. We cover all the costs of running and maintaining the website ourselves on a voluntary basis. And we do all of this purely for our love of walking in Ireland. The long-term development strategy for The Ireland Walking Guide website will continue to be implemented over the coming years and for as long as it takes until our strategic goals are achieved. In the meantime, here are some zero-cost, zero-time ways in which you can support the ongoing development of The Ireland Walking Guide and its growing family of independent Irish information websites.
​

Walking initiatives

We have developed the widest possible selection of meaningful initiatives to promote recreational walking in Ireland. These are delivered across The Ireland Walking Guide and High Point Ireland websites and range from monthly walking themes right through to the official All-Ireland Hillwalking Championships. We aim to deliver a consistent programme of initiatives every year on a recurring basis rather than a series of standalone one-off campaigns. Our "predictable" approach to participation initiatives means walkers always know what's coming up and have ample time to plan ahead. But why should you take part? Click here to find out...
