This article is about a special list of mountains called Nuttalls. These are mountains in England and Wales that are taller than 2,000 feet (about 610 meters). They also need to "stick out" from the land around them by at least 15 meters (about 49 feet). This "sticking out" part is called prominence.

The idea for Nuttalls came from a couple named Anne and John Nuttall. They wrote a book in 1990 called "The Mountains of England and Wales." They kept updating their list in new versions of the book.

Because the "sticking out" rule (prominence) is quite small, the list of Nuttalls can change. Other mountain lists exist with different rules. For example, the "Hewitts" list uses a bigger "sticking out" rule of 30 meters (about 98 feet).

Both the Nuttall and Hewitt lists are very popular with people who enjoy "peak bagging". This means trying to climb all the mountains on a specific list. The Nuttalls and Hewitts are still used today.

As of October 2018, there were 446 Nuttall mountains. 257 of them are in England, and 189 are in Wales. Anne and John Nuttall were the first people to climb all the Nuttalls in March 1990. By October 2018, 302 people had officially climbed all of them. A special group called the Long Distance Walkers Association keeps track of these climbers.

A super fast climb was made by James Forrest. He climbed all 446 Nuttalls in just six months! This amazing feat happened on September 16, 2017.
