WHAT DOES SCAFELL PIKE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Scafell Pike

Scafell Pike

Scafell Pike /ˈskɔːˈfɛl/ or /skɑːˈfɛl/ is the highest mountain in England, at an elevation of 978 metres above sea level. It is located in Lake District National Park, in Cumbria. It is part of the Southern Fells. It is sometimes confused with the neighbouring Sca Fell, to which it is connected by the col of Mickledore. The name The Pikes of Scaw Fell, or just The Pikes, was originally applied collectively to the peaks now known as Scafell Pike, Ill Crag and Broad Crag, which were considered subsidiary tops of Scafell. The application of the name Scafell Pike or Scawfell Pike was a compromise that occurred some time after 1818 but before 1856. It was probably driven by the awkward fact that England's highest mountain did not have a name of its own - until Scafell Pike was measured early in the 19th century, many believed Helvellyn to be the highest mountain in England. Before this compromise was reached, the Ordnance Survey called Scafell Pike and Sca Fell Sca-Fell Higher Top and Sca-Fell Lower Top.
