While the height is not specified we know some things to help us.

  • It was a hill not a cliff. This we know because they "tumbled down"
  • It was very steep because when they fell they could not control their decent.
  • It was of a height that would have made Jacks head impact the ground or rocks hard enough and often enough to break his "Crown", this being interpreted as skull by most people.
  • Since they were going up to fetch a pail of water we can assume the entire trip was less than a mile. (It is unusual for people to live farther than one mile from a drinking water source)
  • So the hill will be less than 5,280 feet tall
  • To create the damage Jack and Jill suffered a hill providing more than 20 feet of tumble would be reasonable.

So The estimate would be more than 20 feet (6 or more meters) and less than 5,280 feet (1.6 kilometers) and realistically 20 to 200 feet would be more reasonable.

Did Jill tumble down the hill after Jack?

As far as the Nursery rhyme in concerned, they just did, no reason given. A historical interpretation refers to Louis XVl and Marie Antoinette of France. Louis was deposed and beheaded, thus Jack fell down and lost his crown. Marie Antoinette suffered the same fate, so Jill came tumbling after.
