Noticeably quieter, wilder and just as spectacular, hikes to Scafell certainly rival those of its famous neighbour, Scafell Pike. England’s second highest mountain is not one to be overshadowed. Beloved …

Scafell is a peak of two faces. To the north and east, its tall cliffs are dark and imposing. To the south and west, its slopes are green and drawn out. Just 46 feet (14 m) relegate it to second-highest in England and it’s a mountain worthy of exploration, and not just as an after-thought to its neighbour.

Not the nicest of days to do Scafell. Wanted to do it solo via Lords Rake but the vis and weather was not too good. Saw nothing above 500m. Guess I will have to come back!

The second highest peak in England at a height of 964 metres. It is admittedly harder to access than its neighbour, Scafell Pike, but it is easy to combine with the Pike to conquer the two highest peaks in England in one day. The views on a clear day are amazing and there is some fun to be had if it is accessed via Lords Rake.
