Scafell Pike, Mountain peak in Lake District, England
Scafell Pike rises to 978 meters above sea level with steep slopes, rocky terrain, and multiple walking paths leading to its summit point.
The mountain summit was donated to the National Trust in 1919 as a memorial for Lake District soldiers who perished in World War I.
The name originates from Old Norse language, combining 'skalli' and 'fjall' to describe the mountain's physical characteristics and surroundings.
Access routes begin at Wasdale Head, with clear paths marked by stone cairns guiding visitors through the challenging three-hour ascent.
The mountain contains Broad Crag Tarn at 820 meters elevation, representing the highest standing water body across England.
