    Hiking

    The views at the top of Scafell Pike are worth the sacrifice of climbing this mountain.

    Hiking

    Superb location for starting your hike to not only Scafell Pike but all the other wondrous mountains in this valley.

    Running

    Wast Water is the deepest lake in England, lying in a deep glacial valley below Scafell. It's about 3 miles (5km) long, 300 feet (500m) wide & 50 feet (79m) deep.

    You can run right round the lake as a low level route. The scree path on the south-eastern shore is clear but challenging underfoot; follow the road on the other side.
