The Scafell Group – 4 Wainwrights
The Scafell Group brings together four of the Lake District’s most iconic and rugged summits: Lingmell, Scafell Pike, Scafell and Slight Side.
Nestled in the heart of the Southern Fells, this classic mountain group offers a true high-fell experience with dramatic ridges, steep ascents and big open skies. From the shadow of England’s highest peak on Scafell Pike to the rocky profiles of Scafell and the sweeping slopes of Slight Side and Lingmell, this cluster of Wainwrights delivers bold scenery and a real sense of remoteness.
The route ranges from well-defined paths to rough, rocky ground and require good fitness and the ability to tackle steep ground. Clear weather rewards walkers with breathtaking panoramic views across the Lake District’s deep valleys and neighbouring fells. Whether you’re aiming to summit England’s highest point or link multiple tops in one memorable mountain day, the Scafell Group is a classic Lakeland challenge.
Perfect for hikers and guided adventures alike, this is high country at its most dramatic — a bold fellwalking experience with views and terrain to match.
