Scafell Area
Scafell Pike
is bordered by Wastwater on the south western
side of the Lake District and Derwent Water to
the north. The nearest main towns are situated
several miles away, Keswick, Cockermouth and
Ambleside are all within easy reach by car.
Scafell Pike is in the heart of the largest
national park in England, which has 16 lakes
within its area. The National Trust owns much of
the area.
When ascending Scafell Pike via the Corridor
Route, ample parking can be found in Seathwaite.
You arrive there by passing Grange at the
southern end of Derwent Water. There is a café
at Seathwaite and a trout farm.
Approaching Scafell foothills from Wastwater
there is a small car park on the left and a
large National Trust car park (charge) over the
small bridge on your right
near a campsite at
the northern end of the lake. Here the walk
begins. |
