Esk Pike, Mountain summit in Lake District, England
Esk Pike rises to 885 meters in elevation, forming part of the Southern Fells with steep slopes and rocky terrain at its peak.
The mountain became part of the Lake District National Park in 1951, marking its recognition as a protected natural landmark in Cumbria.
Numerous hiking groups gather at Esk Pike throughout the year to complete the circuit connecting Scafell Pike and Bowfell mountains.
Visitors can access the summit via multiple routes, with the main trail starting from Great Langdale and passing through Ore Gap.
The summit contains distinctive red soil at Ore Gap due to the presence of hematite deposits in the geological formation.
