The Ethels are 95 hills in the Peak District of England, mostly over 400 m (1,300 ft) above sea level but including various prominent lower hills. The Ethels are a tribute to Ethel Haythornthwaite who pioneered the establishment of the Peak District as Britain's first national park in 1951.[1]

The Peak District and South Yorkshire branch of the CPRE countryside charity announced The Ethels in May 2021. The Ethels were devised in early 2021 by CPRE volunteer Doug Colton, who then built the Ethel Ready smartphone app for hill bagging.[2][3] The Ethels are recognised by the Database of British and Irish Hills, and are identified as "E" in the hill descriptions.[4]
Most of the Ethels lie within the Peak District National Park, but others lie outside its borders. The list is sorted by height above sea level. Marilyns are marked in boldface.[5][6][7]
The Ethels featured on BBC North West TV broadcasts on 27 May 2021 and 7 Sep 2021.[8][9] Clare Balding presented '95 Ethels in the Peak District' on the Ramblings programme on BBC Radio 4 on 10 Mar 2022.[10] The Ethels were featured in the Peak District episode of Countryfile on BBC One on 15 Dec 2024.[11]
