The Ethels are 95 hills in the Peak District of England, mostly over {{cvt|400|m|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.{{Cite news|title=Peak District hilltops named after Sheffield woman|language=en-GB|work=BBC News|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-south-yorkshire-57077440|access-date=2021-05-13|date=2021-05-11}}
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.{{Cite web|title=Our Peak District hill walking challenge: climbing the 95 'Ethels'|url=https://www.cprepdsy.org.uk/news/our-peak-district-hill-walking-challenge-walking-the-95-ethels/|access-date=2021-05-13|website=CPRE Peak District and South Yorkshire|language=en-GB|date=2021-05-07|first=Julie|last=Gough}}{{Cite web|title=Meet the maker of the 'Ethel Ready' app ...|url=https://www.cprepdsy.org.uk/news/meet-the-maker-of-the-ethel-ready-app/|access-date=2021-06-07|website=CPRE Peak District and South Yorkshire|language=en-GB|date=2021-06-07|first=Julie|last=Gough}} The Ethels are recognised by the Database of British and Irish Hills, and are identified as "E" in the hill descriptions.{{cite web |title=The Ethels |url=https://www.hill-bagging.co.uk/hill-list/ethels/ |website=Hill Bagging |access-date=17 December 2024}}
