Welsh Nuttalls
Nuttalls are hills over 2,000ft (609.6m) high in England and Wales with a relative drop of 15m*. There are 445 Nuttalls, in England and Wales with 257 Nuttalls in England and 189 in Wales. The 189** Nuttalls in Wales are split into: The Carneddau, Glyders, Snowdon, Moel Hebog, Moelwyns, Arenigs, Berwyns, Arans, Rhinogs, Cadair Idris, central Wales, Black Mountains, Black Mountain and the Brecon Beacons.
*Whilst Hewitts on the other hand are hills over 2,000' with a relative drop of 30m.
**There are various lists of Welsh Nuttalls that give a total that varies between 188 and 190. As I am recording on the Peakbagger website I will use their total of 189.
Welsh Marilyns
Marilyns are defined as peaks with a prominence of 150 metres (490ft) or more, regardless of height or any other merit. Thus, Marilyns can range from being mountains with a height above 600 m (2,000 ft), to being relatively small hills.
As of April 2020, there were 2,011 Marilyns in the British Isles, with 1,219 Marilyns in Scotland, 454 Marilyns in Ireland, 175 in England, 158 in Wales, and 5 in the Isle of Man.

Welsh Hewitts
Hewitts are defined as "Hills in England, Wales and Ireland over two thousand" feet 2,000 feet (609.6 m) in height, the general requirement to be called a mountain in the British Isles, and with a prominence above 30* metres (98.4 ft). There are 528 Hewitts, 209 in Ireland, 181 in England and 138 in Wales.
*Whilst Nuttalls on the other hand have a relative height of 15m.
