Description
At 978 meters (3,210 ft), Scafell Pike is the highest
mountain in England. It is characterised by crags and
general ruggedness. Wainwright describes it as being
"...every inch a mountain". He goes on to write " ...
Roughness and ruggedness are the necessary attributes ...
[to make a mountain] ... and the Pike has these in greater
measure than any other high ground in the country – which
is just as it should be, for there is no higher ground than
this." (Wainwright 1960, The Southern Fells, Scafell Pike,
