Scafell

Scafell, or SCAW FELL, the highest mountain in England, stands at the head of Eskdale in Cumberland, close to the border of Westmoreland, and 11 miles south-west from Keswick. There are two peaks, Sca Fell Pike (3,210 feet), and Sca Fell (3,162 feet). Like the rest of the system, they are composed geologically of a granitic base capped by crystalline schists and quartzitic grits.
