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 (which looks higher from many angles). 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. The precise meaning of these names can be identified by the angle (3 degrees 3 minutes and 49.25 seconds) between the two summits measured from Dent ("Dent Hill") in the surveys made up to 1809, calculating the distance between the peaks and comparing this with a modern map.The old spelling Scawfell was in common use, except for on Ordnance Survey maps, until about 1920 - see Sca Fell for a fuller explanation. This may be the source of the belief that the OS made an error in naming this mountain - but it was simply a matter of spelling.Scafell Pike was used in 1826 as a station in the Principal Triangulation of Britain by the Ordnance Survey when they fixed the relative positions of Britain and Ireland. Angles between Slieve Donard and Snowdon were taken from Scafell Pike, as were angles measured from stations on each of the other two mountains. Given the need for clear weather to achieve these very long range observations (111 miles to Slieve Donard), the Ordnance surveyors spent most of the summer camped on the respective mountain tops.
