[Talk-GB] A moutain range in Cornwall??

When I was a child I remember being told that a mountain was anything over
around 300m / 1000ft. So by that definition Cornwall does indeed have
mountains, but then again it would also imply that the Cotswolds includes
mountains and Berkshire is within a few metres of doing so! ;-)

I suppose it begs the question "what is a mountain?"
Rather a subjective term but I guess something that rises around 500 metres
above the surrounding land and is rugged, rocky and potentially hazardous
in the wrong conditions would fit the bill.
