From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia At 978 metres (3,209 feet),
Scafell Pike is the highest mountain in England. It is located in the Lake
District National Park in Cumbria.
It is sometimes confused with the neighbouring Sca Fell, to which it is
connected by the col of Mickledore. The name Pikes of Sca Fell was
originally applied collectively to the peaks now known as Scafell Pike, Ill
Crag and Broad Crag, which were considered subsidiary tops of Sca Fell
(which looks higher from many angles). The contraction Scafell Pike
originated as an error on an Ordnance Survey map,but is
now standard.
The land was donated to the National Trust in 1920 by Lord Leconfield in
memory of the men of the Lake District "who fell for God and King, for
freedom, peace and right in the Great War".
Scafell Pike is one of three British mountains climbed as part of the
(National) Three Peaks Challenge.
