This article generates hCard microformats, to make place-names and locations parsable by computers, either acting automatically to index articles, or via a user's browser tool, to (for example) add the subject to an address book. Within the hCard is a Geo microformat, to make the coordinates parsable, so they can be, say, located on a map, or sent to a GPS unit. See also Wikipedia's microformat project.

hCard uses HTML classes including: "adr", "county-name", "fn", "label", "locality", "nickname", "note", "org", "region" & "vcard". Geo is produced by {{coord}}, and has classes: "geo", "latitude" & "longitude". Please do not rename or remove these classes. When giving coordinates, please don't be overly precise.

Are these names valid?

In the Cheviot Hills and Cuillin sections, it seems to list modern hills which erosion carved out of the structure long after eruption ceased. Instead, it should list the old volcanic eruption centers. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 09:22, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't Giant's Causeway a tertiary flood basalt? And there's no mention of the highly significant Snowdonian and Borrowdale volcanics

, but there are a few in British dependent territories. One of the largest is Mount Belinda 1,370 m (4,490 ft) at 58°25′S 26°23′W / 58.417°S 26.383°W / -58.417; -26.383 (Montagu) on Montagu Island in the Weddell Sea off the coast of Antarctica. It is within the British Overseas Territory, the South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands. Although, Mount Michael 805 m (2,641 ft) at 57°48′S 26°28′W / 57.800°S 26.467°W / -57.800; -26.467 on Saunders Island has been active as recently as 2005. The 700 m (2,297 ft) diameter summit crater is thought to possibly contain an active lava lake, one of only a handful in the world.

The Wrekin, a very obvious volcano in Shropshire. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.140.247.199 (talk) 22:16, 19 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It may be 'obvious' . . but it was never a volcano! Nor for that matter was Sugar Loaf, another hill near the Welsh border, the profile of which superficially resembles a volcano. Sure the former is formed in part from volcanic rocks but its shape is coincidental, The rocks forming the latter are entirely sedimentary in origin. In fact a few of the items in the list need tweaking, explaining or deleting due to misunderstanding as to what actually amounts to a volcano.Geopersona (talk) 18:12, 6 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
