Flash, Stafforshire, the highest (1518 feet) in the UK.


At 463 metres (1,519 ft) above sea level, Flash claims to be the highest village in Great Britain. In 2007 the claim was upheld by the BBC, which settled a dispute with its rival claimant, Wanlockhead in Dumfries and Galloway. The Ordnance Survey measured the highest house in each village and Flash was higher, although the results were disputed by residents of the Scottish village. More recently the claim has been disputed by the residents of Nenthead in Cumbria.
