That depends on which website you look at. I believe Vale is the second highest ground in the league.

 

"According to Simon Inglis's definitive work, Football Grounds Of Britain, the three highest grounds above sea level belong to West Bromwich Albion, Port Vale and Oldham Athletic.

 

The Hawthorns - built in 1900 - is the highest of the lot, standing at 551 feet above sea level. Next comes Vale Park (525 feet) and Boundary Park (509 feet)."
