About Scafell

Mountain964 mCumbria

Scafell, at 964 metres, is England's second-highest mountain, separated from Scafell Pike by the narrow col of Mickledore. Its summit is quieter than its neighbour and has superb views. Walkers usually approach via Foxes Tarn or Lord's Rake; the direct Broad Stand route is a dangerous rock climb best avoided.
