Mit dem für mich neuen Begriff "Marilyn" für einen relativ markanten Hügel, vermutlich in Anspielung auf Marilyn Monroes relativ markante … Hügel.

I’m so sorry.
I’ve never lived further away than…0 meters of a hill this large. I couldn’t imagine the pain of boring landscape
Scottish hills are called Munroes, so Marilyns in England are a joke reference to that
The name Marilyn is from Marilyn Monroe but is a play on the use of Munro for Scottish hills over 3000 feet.
Marilyn’s need to have a prominence of over 150m.
Lords bless the Pennines
Yeah I think the tallest hill in Norfolk is 65-70 metres 😂
lol, checkin‘ out this map had me realizin‘ how freakin‘ isolated some ppl really are.
Near. Far. The hills are relative to where you are.
# How relatively nest are you? Weird. I’ve never thought of that
Further proof East Anglia’s hell
Flat vs very flat
Yeah, I live in Cambridge. Turns out I’m right, there is not a hill worth exploring near me.
Blooming fens are just so boring.
„There may be a hill worth exploring closer than you think.“
Especially if you’re not arbitrarily limiting yourself within the political boundaries of England, for some reason. Can’t go over to that one right over there, it’s in Wales!
Looks like map is just overlaid on top of a screenshot from a Doom explosion.
Relatively near to the relativelyest neariest of the relatively near hills that are relatively near
This looks like a gba fire emblem game
I think this raw map is far easier to read. I don’t really see the value of the distance map.

This is a strangely useless map. It’s not only flat areas lacking Marilyns, it also includes many hilly ones that don’t have isolated peaks. E.g., North Devon is in the same class as Norfolk, but it has the highest sea cliffs on mainland Britain.
Also, 10 km grid squares! WTAF! I know giving away data is the original sin at the Ordnance Survey, but this looks like something created in the earliest days of digital mapping.
The creation of Marilyns can be seen as a humorous commentary on the practice of „bagging Munroes“. Many Scottish peaks over 3 000 feet are relatively close together in an upland area, so you can bag half a dozen or more in a day. These Marilyns are by their definition spread apart and take effort.
Vague title, unnecessarily obscured categories, legend doesn’t match the actual data on the map. No offense to whoever made it but there is no porn here, I am FULLY LIMP.
Lol at Norfolk.
Wales excluded for obvious reasons
I was looking for a white region which was legendarily close to a prominent hill.
Norfolk is Dutch. You’ve heard it here first.
Hey! Norfolk has Castle Hill! It doesn’t have a castle on it, and based on this map, it’s not a hill either! But in our hearts it’s a mountain
