The highest peaks in England, Wales, and Scotland make up the Three Peaks Challenge and its fame has come from the 24-hour Challenge. You can guess what that involves!
LessThe highest point in the UK and a much sought after summit, Ben Nevis is the start point for the 3 Peaks Challenge.
Scafell Pike is the highest peak in England, although it’s only a few metres above its close neighbour Scafell!
Like Scafell Pike, there are several routes to climb the highest peak in Wales: Snowdon. Most people tend to take the either Pyg Track or the Miner’s Track on the Three Peaks Challenge. Or go up one and come down the other. Both are easily accessed from a carpark right at the bottom of the mountain. It’s steep going, but if you’ve managed the other two then you’re probably not afraid of a slog up hill!
