Birks Fell

About

Birks Fell is a mountain in north west. (Mountain in North Yorkshire, England.) According to Wikipedia: "Birks Fell is a hill in the Yorkshire Dales, near to Hubberholme in North Yorkshire, England. It is classed as a Marilyn. Birks Fell only became an official Marilyn in 2006 as it was resurveyed and discovered to be 610 metres (2,001 ft) and not 608 metres (1,995 ft) as previously thought. Books from the late 19th and early 20th centuries list the hill as being 2,001 feet (610 m) and it is thought that in the conversion to metric, the hill lost some height. This raises it above neighbouring Horse Head Moor, making it the Marilyn in place of Horse Head Moor."
