Looking for a place to stay near England’s highest mountain?
Scafell Pike stands at 978m (3,209ft) and is the tallest mountain in England, located in the Lake District National Park. The most popular route starts from Wasdale Head and takes around 4-6 hours for a round trip, depending on fitness levels and weather conditions. The climb is classed as strenuous, with steep, rocky paths and unpredictable weather at the summit. Other routes include longer ascents from Seathwaite (6-8 hours) and Langdale (8-10 hours). Proper hiking gear, navigation skills, and preparation are essential. It is one of the three mountains in the National Three Peaks Challenge, along with Ben Nevis (Scotland) and Snowdon (Wales), where participants aim to climb all three within 24 hours.
