Scoat Fell

Scoat Fell rises to an elevation of 841 meters, featuring a long plateau with a stone wall crossing its summit and a cairn marking the highest point.

The mountain slopes supported local industries through centuries, with shepherds utilizing the surrounding hills for sheep grazing and quarrying activities taking place in specific areas.

The mountain forms part of the Mosedale Horseshoe, a walking circuit that connects multiple summits and represents a significant achievement for Lake District mountaineers.

Multiple hiking routes lead to the summit from Ennerdale, Wasdale Head, and along the ridge from Pillar, with each path offering different levels of technical difficulty.

The mountain sits at the intersection of five distinct ridges, creating separate valleys including Mosedale and Nether Beck, with Scoat Tarn located on its southern side.
