High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! At 978 metres (3,209 ft), Scafell Pike with equal stress on both syllables) is the highest mountain in England. It is located in the Lake District National Park in Cumbria. It is sometimes confused with the neighbouring Sca Fell, to which it is connected by the col of Mickledore. The name Pikes of Sca Fell was originally applied collectively to the peaks now known as Scafell Pike, Ill Crag and Broad Crag, which were considered subsidiary tops of Sca Fell (which looks higher from many angles). The contraction Scafell Pike originated as an error on an Ordnance Survey map, but is now standard.
