The UK Epic Mountain Guide, produced by Land Rover, highlights the hardest to easiest mountains to climb across the UK.
The guide is based on an analysis of 40 mountains across England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
The comparison metrics looked at the height of the mountain and the average time to the top, along with those that are the most popular with climbers, with the most Tripadvisor reviews and the highest average score
With the view from the top being a highlight of the climb, the research also includes the most picturesque mountains, consisting of those which are most Instagrammed (number of hashtags of the mountain name).
The guide reveals :
Scotland's Aonach Beag, standing at 1,234 metres high, has been ranked the hardest mountain to climb, taking on average six hours to reach the peak
Sawel mountain in Northern Island is the quickest, taking people on average just one hour to reach its 678-metre-high peak
two Welsh mountains, Glyder Fach and Glyder Fawr, are the least challenging to climb and, being next to each other, will take about 1.5 hours to climb each
Snowdon in Wales comes in as the second most challenging mountain to climb in the UK at 1,085m tall and with the average hiker taking six hours to reach the peak, and is the most reviewed mountain on Tripadvisor with a 2,665 reviews and an average review score of five stars
Scotland claims a total of nine out of 10 places in the top 10 hardest to climb mountains, due to the height of the Scottish Highland area.
