<div class="moz-cite-prefix">OK so Google says the Slovak
translates as "Cornish Highlands" and there are a load of
hills in the right place (of which Hensbarrow Downs is the
tallest at 364m). <br>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">So not really mountains, but should
we regard it as a range of hills? Currently the Quantocks
aren't tagged as such, though they probably could be, and
there's no hill_range (going by <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountain_range">Wikipedia</a>
we could easily use mountain_range to cover well-defined
ranges of hills too).</div>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Wikipedia, in fact, in its <a

Hills of Cornwall</a>, Includes <a

in the "range" column.</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">So it's not as ridiculous as it
seems; changing the name to "Hensbarrow" would be a reasonable
outcome if we were to accept that a range of hills could be
tagged the same as a range of mountains<br>

the mountain_range tag is lightly used in the UK, missing
plenty of obvious ones (Bannau Brycheiniog for example, though
Eryri is tagged). Many also have a name:sk, suggesting the
same mapper as this one. Its use in NI is particularly
suspect, seemingly for individual peaks in a small area.<br>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">So the question becomes: do we tag
ranges of hills as mountain_range?</div>

This looks like nonsense? Does someone have time to look into this?
