The highest mountain in England is Scafell Pike in the Cumbrian Mountains.
Scafell Pike is the highest mountain in England. Its height is 978 metres (3,209 ft) and 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.
The summit was donated to the National Trust in 1919 by Lord Leconfield in memory of the men of the Lake District "who fell for God and King, for freedom, peace and right in the Great War".Scafell Pike is one of three British peaks climbed as part of the National Three Peaks Challenge, and is the highest ground for over 90 miles.

Dear Travel Agent,
ВідповістиВидалитиCongratulations for this wonderful page! You've done a great job! Simply one of the most intriguing pages I've seen about London! A real London guide, full of interesting details and beautiful pictures.
It was really interesting to read about London and England in general. Just spending a little time I’ve got a lot of facts about history of England, sightseeing places, transport and accommodation of the capital city. This information is really valuable. Also thank you for all the useful links. Unfortunately you didn’t mention some important things like climate in England and London in particular, underground and railway transport. For me as for a young mother it is also very important to know about local cuisine and places where I can get really healthy food, this kind of information is very limited as well.
The most exciting thing what I’ve found out from your page is holidays’ and festivals’ calendar. Hopefully I would have an opportunity to visit the London Children’s Film Festival and the London Jazz Festival next year in November.
Thanks awfully for your lively description that made me feel I was there...I enjoy reading your brilliant pages!
Thank you, Ira, for the advice!
