What is scarfell?

Scafell is a mountain in the Lake District National Park in Cumbria, England. It is the highest mountain in England, standing at 978 metres (3,209 feet) above sea level.

There are two main summits on Scafell, namely Scafell Pike and Scafell. Scafell Pike is the higher of the two summits and is typically ascended by most hikers who climb Scafell. However, both summits are popular destinations for hikers.

The mountain also features several major routes, including the popular Wasdale Head route, which starts at the Wasdale Head Inn and takes hikers up to Scafell Pike.

Scafell is made up of the same Borrowdale Volcanic rocks as other mountains in the area, such as Great Gable and Skiddaw. These rocks are known for their rugged and rocky terrain, making the mountain a challenging climb for many hikers.

Despite the difficulty of the climb, Scafell attracts many visitors each year due to its beautiful views of the surrounding Lake District countryside and the stunning scenery along its routes.
