Scafell Pike

Scafell Pike is the tallest and most visible peak in England, rising 978 meters above sea level. It is part of the Southern Fells and the Scafell massif and is located in the Lake District National Park in Cumbria. Scafell Pike is one of a horseshoe of high fells, open to the south, surrounding the head of Eskdale, Cumbria. It stands on the western side of the cirque, with Scafell to the south and Great End to the north. This ridge forms the watershed between Eskdale and Wasdale, which lies to the west. Scafell Pike, England's tallest peak, may be reached in a variety of methods. So, it's a little arrogant to include it as the finest trek in the UK. But no matter whatever route you take, reaching the peak is a fantastic sensation. You'll be on top of the world.

A multitude of hikers generally gathers at Wasdale, in the western portion of the Lake District, to take the quickest route to the summit. There is, however, a lesser-known route to the 977-metre-high top. If you don't want to follow a throng, start from the more picturesque and less busy north side, which begins at Seathwaite (or Borrowdale for a longer hike). This nine-mile track, known as the "Corridor Route", snakes through the valley beneath granite cliffs and through ravines before reaching Scafell Pike's summit boulder field.
