About

Scafell Pike is the highest mountain in England, standing at 978 metres (3,209 ft) in the Lake District National Park of Cumbria. The fell is part of the extinct Scafell Massif and offers open‑access walking and climbing routes that attract more than 250,000 visitors annually. Its summit delivers sweeping panoramic views of the surrounding fells and takes walkers from classic start points such as Wasdale Head, Seathwaite and Langdale.
