Scafell Pike
While Scafell Pike has several paths, most Three Peaks Challengers will begin at
Wasdale Head, to the North of Wast Water. Paths on Scafell Pike are marked on the
OS Explorer OL 6 Map (South Western Lakes)

Scafell Pike routes
Two usual routes are available for climbing Scafell Pike - either from Seathwaite,
or Wasdale Head. A further route via Lickledore is eroded and probably not suitable
for the National Three Peaks.
Route from Seathwaite
From the parking, walk through the farm, over Stockley Bridge, to Styhead Gill.
From Sty Head, continue to Corridor Route to Lnigmell Col, and on to the peak of
Scafell Pike.
Route from Wasdale Head
From the Wasdale Head car park, follow the road to the footpath, and follow this
over a footbridge and onwards to Lingmell Gill. Here, bear to the left, heading
uphill before crossing the river and passing Brown Tongue, and continuing to the
peak of Scafell Pike.
Both routes can be seen below, with Seathwaite in the North, and Wasdale Head in
the West.
