Vandeleur-Lynams

Summits and subsidiary tops in Ireland of at least 600m elevation & 15m prominence
A Vandeleur-Lynam is any summit or subsidiary top  in Ireland of at least 600m elevation with a topographical prominence of at least 15 metres. The current version is an update of the original 2,000+ feet list published by Joss Lynam and Rev. CRP Vandeleur in 1952. As of 31st December 2023, the Vandeleur-Lynam list comprises 275 locations. Of these, 209 are mountain summits (see the Irish Hewitts), 14 are hill summits with between 600m and 609.6m elevation (see the 14 highest 500-Metre Tops of Ireland), and 52 are subsidiary non-summit tops of at least 600m with less than 30m prominence.

Please note that a location must have a topographical prominence of at least 30m to qualify as a proper summit.

Unfortunately we cannot promote or recommend the Vandeleur-Lynams as a hillwalking challenge because it is neither a proper summit list nor a High Point list. If you are looking for an All-Ireland mountain challenge, we highly recommend the Irish Hewitts (Ireland's official list of proper mountain summits) or one of its four provincial sub-list challenges.

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...
