Green Hill or Gragareth? edit

Latest comment: 3 years ago5 comments4 people in discussion

There seems to be some confusion about which is the highest point in administrative Lancashire. A google search gives several references to Gragareth being the highest point. Gragareth, around 1 mile south of Green Hill has a height of 627m according to OS landranger 98. The same map shows Green Hill with a height of 626m, the same as this article. However, the website which has been used to source these county tops says Green Hill is 628m. It would of course be much easier if we ignored these fake counties and just referred to the true Lancashire county top of Coniston Old Man. Lancsalot 13:59, 6 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

I see this has now been changed. However the Lancashire article might also need changing. Also is this really a mountain? I think the name Green Hill provides a clue. Lancsalot 14:39, 6 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Citing a walkers' guide as 'evidence' that Green Hill is 628 m tall is, frankly, absurd, particularly when verified, professionally-measured Ordnance Survey data clearly states otherwise!

The OS map linked from the coordinates (pick 'Bing') gives 626m at the default zoom level. But it gives 628m (at a different spot) if you zoom in. Mr Stephen (talk) 20:18, 29 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

OS maps clearly show that Gragareth is 627m AOD [1], whereas Green Hill is 628m AOD [2]. (You may need to zoom out one level on the maps on the Streetmap site to see the 1:25k OS mapping.) OS is of course an authoritative, relable source. Bazonka (talk) 19:37, 14 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
